BDS told me that the front track width would increase by 1.58", so I added a 1.5" adapter to the rear. I really didn't think it was necessary but I wanted everything to look the same.

 

Did you put the lift on with the 275/65s first? or did you put the 35s on at the same time. Curious how the 275/65s would look with this lift?

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

My plan was to keep the 275/65s until I needed new tires but they looked a bit narrow so i bought 35s the following day. My truck looked like it skipped leg day! Lol

I really like this. Good Job!

 

Hope do you rate the ride compared to the 2.5 level? I am really disappointed in my AT with 275.65 and 2.5 level. I don't know if I need to change these rancho shocks out or what but it is a really harsh ride in the front end. I feel everything on the road.

Hello, I am new to this forum. I wanted to post to this topic to add an experience I am currently going through. I purchased the Rough Country 3.5" lift for my 15 CC z71, and when I'm in 4 wheel drive I have a loud growling and vibration felt through the floor board. I had it done by a lift shop in Virginia Beach that seems to be pretty decent. I have seen that some members are running that kit without problems and I am not sure what my issue is, So I will be taking that kit off and I am having an RCD 4-6" adjustable lift installed. From what I understand they actually brought in the guy who designed the STABILITRAC system for these trucks, and it has bilsteins all around. I was assured that this lift will resolve my issues. "Fingers crossed" Its costing me more in the end and I did go to a different shop that does these trucks for the dealer next door, but I would rather not have these types of issues with the drive train. To all of you running this kit I'm glad you didn't have this issue, I just thought I would add this to the conversation.

Tx-at what did your fender Heights come out at.

I haven't found even ground to provide accurate measurements but this is what I got in my driveway. Numbers are with the BDS 6" kit & 35.12 Toyo MT tires.

 

FD - 44 1/2", FP - 44 1/2"

RD - 44 1/4", RP - 44"

 

I was told to give the front struts a while before they settle down. I hope it stays as is that way I can just lift the rear a bit to give it some rake.

How many of you are running a 6" lift with 35's and have 3.08 gears?

How's the power with that set up?

 

I'm planing a 6" BDS with Fox upgrades and new leaf packs. Really want to run 35's but don't want my 5.3L/3.08 gearing to be a dog either. Wondering if I will need to stick with 33's.

 

I also put quite a few miles on per year. About 16k due to kids playing travel sports.

I wish that's all I put on my truck in a year! Exactly a year after I bought the truck I was at 31,200. Hopefully this is a slower year, but was crazy busy last year.

Really looking into getting the RC 7" lift kit, however im having a hard time finding pictures online of this exact kit installed next to something i can use as a size reference. I dont want it to be too tall, but i dont want it to look like its not lifted either. Ive been considering the 5" RC, and i really like the way the 6.5 BDS lift looks. Some of the pictures ive seen online of the 4 and 5" lifts barely look lifted (havent had a chance to see any of these kits in person yet)

 

 

I guess what im getting at is i want it lifted a decent amount, but i dont want it to be so tall i dont enjoy it.....

 

Anyone have any advice/pics that can help me decide?

This should give you a good idea of the 7" Rough Country.

I have the 3.42 gears but I was just wondering the answer to this question myself. Hopefully someone will chime in.

      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.

      By CamGTP · Posted

      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.
