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

Not sure if the 4” lift gives you new spindles like the 6” but You may get the widened track width poking out your front wheels so you’ll need to add rear spacers in order to balance out the look. If you have to get them look at Bora spacers, apparently they’re the best/safest. Just make sure to re-torque on every tire rotation.

I honestly can barely even notice the extra width up front. I don't fully trust spacers so I just left the front 1.5" wider.

Thanks man! As you can tell the color changes a lot depending on lighting. Really love deep ocean blue!

I just went to order them, FYI, i found out that they only make them in a +1 offset in the 18x9 with the GM bolt pattern, in case anyone else asks. Glad you posted pictures of your wheels, i have been looking for a set that I liked for a while.

Thanks! I was totally unsure of the offset. Took me weeks to find a set that I liked and with the proper backspacing to fit my lift.

Nice, What offset did you use on your wheels? I'm looking to do fender flares and want the tires to be flush with them. 

 

I can't remember, but it brings them about 2" out, but these are the wheels. The manufacturer will have it listed

Sorry but I just couldn't read through all 336+ pages in this thread.

 

I have a ''16 Sierra Denali Crew Cab 4x4 6.2 with the Magneride (Z95 w/Z82 which after 68k is now shot and in need of replacement.  I bought the truck used from the dealer at 21k and the original owner had installed what appears to be a small lift kit front and rear with 2" blocks under the springs in the rear and a 1" spacer under the struts in the front.  Which gives a little nose down rake but I'd like a bit more level.  I have a Summit Racing front leveling kit which is 2" strut tower spacers for the top to replace the 1" spacers currently on the bottom.  So looking for opinions/advice/suggestions on this setup?

 

And also looking for suggestions/advice on replacing the struts/shocks with what?  I've seen the Rancho Quicklift's and RS9000XL's and I've tried to search the Bilstein website but when I enter my year, make, model it says there are no results/products.  Yes, I realize that with the 2" Summit lift kit in the front I wouldn't need the Rancho QuickLift's so what would be the other options?

 

Also, does anyone make a plugin resistor by-pass for the Magneride so that the computer isn't always showing an error?

 

TIA for your opinions and suggestions.

Can't help you shocks as my 2015 Denali is still cooking (knock on wood). But I do know that somewhere on this forum I read about the resistor bypass kits. If memory serves they were a bit expensive but worth it from the standpoint of being plug and play. If I find that post again, I'll come back here and post.

I called Rancho and Bilstein directly yesterday to ask them and they both stated that they have not built and tested anything to replace the Z95 and couldn't even guarantee if the strut assemblies of the QuickLIFT would even fit.  And they haven't done any R&D for a resistor and also mentioned that they have seen where someone has taken the other resistors for say the Z55 and used them on a Z95 and they over heated and started on fire.  They also mentioned that it is possible that if no resistors were used that the truck's ECU would limit the speed because it would think there are no struts/shocks.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
