If you do end up doing the CST lift, get the Stage 1, this way you can do whatever shocks and struts you want and when and if you want to add CST coilovers like me, you’ll have the CST upper coilover, strut and spacer assembly as backup or spares.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving, I've  had the Stage 1 kit sitting in my shop since July, week after I bought the truck. Had planned to install it this Winter when work slowed up. I'll be ordering those same coilovers when I'm ready to install it.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

Happy Thanksgiving to you too. The best thing about this CST lift is once you add the these 4.5” specific coil overs, you can dial them up a bit too, (if desired) which will raise easily. Next week is the install, update afterwards. Be safe

What do I need to measure on my 2015 Silverado 1500 to see how much lift it has. I just bought the truck and not sure of the lift. It has RC parts on it. I measured the blocks in the rear and they measure 6” does that mean it’s a 6” lift.

Measure from the bottom bolt on the front cross member to the top bolt of the front cross member and that will give you the size of the kit.

50k miles and I just installed new UCA's -- my ball joints were shot. I'm pretty certain it was the long miles with level kit and E-Rated tires that chewed them up.

I didn’t have a lot of choice or time—it was day before Christmas. I needed to take my truck on a long distance trip.

If I recall the UCA were made by Precision (OEM). I will consider aftermarket next time I need them. I was just surprised that they were already toast.

Truck hit 50k miles; lift has only about 8k miles on it. Before that it was level kit and E-rated 275’s.

Threw a 2” RC level on dads truck for Christmas. Still need to get another 1/2 inch inch on the front to get that true level, guess I know what I’ll get for his birthday [emoji2957]

Side by side with my 6” BDS. Love em both.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
