Are any of you guys upgrading the upper control arms with your lifts ? Low priority or just don’t need them?

I would if I was doing any of the stretched out levels.  I think some even come with arms.

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

Is there would be absolutely no benefit to getting upper control arms with suspension lifts ? Unless your balljoints go bad I suppose.

Anyone have pictures of CV angles of the zone 6.5” kit? I had a 4.5, but looking to go up this time around I think.

Old truck that was totaled out. Zone 4.5, Bora 1.5” rear spacers, 20x9 0 offset XD820, 305/55/20 falken at3w. Zero rub, zero issues. Well, except for being tboned on my way to work.

That’s perfect. I remember my 4.5 being perfect but wasn’t sure how bad the 6.5 would be. I thought about modifying the strut spacers to 5.5” so it’s a happy medium between the 2, because I only want to run a 33, not a 35. Been there done that on a 1500, no thanks!

If you want an in-between to the 4.5 - 6.5 just do the 5100s, then you can run it at 4.5 , 5.25 , 5.75 , or 6.35

Those angles look good.  I'm getting Zone 4.5 tomorrow, installer said later I could get 5100s or some people slide in a small spacer to level up lift.  That truck look great.

Finally got a decent day to clean up the truck a little bit. Here's my 4.5" Zone with 33x12.50x20 Toyo R/T and Hostile Sprockets. 
 
Pretty happy with how it turned out. I will be ordering 35x12.50x20 Toyo A/T2 Extremes and Fuel Blitz wheels as a summer setup.

I want to say +10.

 

Edit: for sure +10, I just checked out the specs on Hostile's site.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
