Just an opinion but if I were you and I wanted to run a 33" tire I would look at the 4" BDS lift. I think your truck would perform very well and look fantastic.

Looking for some input, if you have a negative comment don't even bother. This is my first vehicle and this is what I could afford, 14 Silverado 2wd v6 with the 3.23 gears. I read pretty much all the threads. I like how lifted trucks look and I'm currently on a level with 33s and the truck performs just fine. I want to do a 6"lift but keep my 33s. I know this gear ratio isn't the best to go with 35s and honestly I don't have money to throw like that. Will adding a 6" lift have a big effect on my truck? Like messing up the gears or does that only get damage when trying to push bigger tires? What are the cons of doing this to this particular truck? Thanks in advance

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

I have a 2014 lifted with Rough Country 7" and 49K miles and no stabilitrac issues at all

 

Is your truck an early 14 model? It's seems, by what I'm reading, that later 14 models and 15 models have been having issues with stabilitrac. Maybe slightly different programming? Not sure......

 

I haven't seen where Pro Comp owners have been having any problems with stabilitrac by what I've read. I guess it could be that they haven't chimed in if they have.

Just read the thread where owners of lifted trucks and bigger tires were having issues with stabilitrac. I noticed (could've missed something though) that owners with rough country, BDS, and custom lifts had these issues and that the alignment / possibly the stabilitrac sensor wires were pinched/stretched were the most likely causes. One owner contacted Rocky Ridge and RR felt it was stretched sensor wires causing the problems. Others seem to have corrected the issue by having their truck aligned properly.

 

I posed the question in that thread and I'll pose it here also because many different types of lift makes are represented here; are Pro Comp 6" lift owners having an issue with stabilitrac?

thats what my problem was, at full turn lock to lock the wires where being pulled apart causing the stabilitrac issues, after cutting the try wrap off and let the wires hang I've never had any other problems

In the rough country kit I just installed they tell you how to get more slack out of the front and rear wires. Before I put my truck back together I turned the steering too full lock in both directions to make sure I had slack at full droop.

Great looking truck! That makes me want to go back to chrome wheels, I think the tire size gets lost with the black wheels. I like the coloratched door handles, and mirror caps also. What are the specs on your wheels, I might push mine out a little more, just my preference. Keeping them tucked in helps keep the truck clean, but I prefer a little wider stance.

20x9 with a -12 offset. I'm looking for a little more stance, I've thought about wheel spacers but I've heard bad things about them

Strange, that's exactly the same specs on the wheels I have. Must be the angle of the photo.

As long as you buy and install a quality Hub Centric spacer they are fine. I have 1.5" spacers on my rear hubs to correct the track width and after >7k miles I have had zero issues.

Quick question guys? Can I add a 3" body lift to the Fabtech 6" lift in order to fit 37" tires?

should definitely give you enough clearance

I don't think you will fit 37s with that, I have 9" suspension and had to add 1.5" body to fit 37s and still rub some. But I also have 22x14 so I'm sure that is a big factor

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
