cheapest kit CST got for 3.5-5" of lift for a 14 silverado is $1200 range. ima just keep saving & maybe go with Rough Country's 5" kit for $849

You can find the CST kit on sale for about $900. I think McGaughys has some good 2WD kits as well.

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

Here is my submission to this thread. Its my 2016 GMC All/Terrain 4x4 6.5" Zone with AAL, 35.4" Duratracs on stock 20" Denali wheels.

Here are some better pics. This is my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 with 6" FabTech Gen II lift and 35x12.5x20 Open Country RT's on 20x9 (6" backspacing) Predator II's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks really good. I'm guessing your wheels are 5 inch back spacing as that is the max the Gen 2 allows

Anyone have any good suggestions for rear wheel spacers for my 6.5 Zone lift? I want the rear to be flush with the front. It's getting installed tomorrow and I want to make sure I buy some decent ones. I don't know much about wheel spacers. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Look at a company called TrailSport. I bought a set of 1.5" Hub centric spacers to correct my track width and only paid $69.00. When they arrived I was very satisfied with the billet alluminium and quality of product. They have been on my truck since Aug of '15 with zero issues.

+1, Hub centric seems to the brand/product to go with.

I've got a new 2016 Denali with 6.2 V8 and magnetic suspension.

 

I was looking at leveling kits but have learned that there isn't a very good option due to the magnetic ride. Ride quality apparently goes to poop with a level kit.

 

So my question: Can I spend some extra cash on a full suspension kit that will give me an inch or two of lift and maintain a good ride quality? What are my best options?

 

Thank you!!

That's not a bad price at all. I have read they need to be 1.75" and some were 1.50"... Any insight on that?

Why didn't you put any on your truck? Just curious.

I just haven't bothered with it nor care for spacers. I may end up throwing some on once I get my new front fenders installed. I'm not sure for the Zone lift but on the BDS you would want 1.5" spacers since that's the increased track width on each side. Just call Zone and ask them how much the lift increases the track width on each side and get the appropriate sizes.

According to BDS and Zone they don't increase the track width at all so asking might not be the best knowledge to make a decision on. Just an FYI just got off the phone with both.

My zone 4.5 on my 2013 increased it around 1.5 I believed. I could be wrong, I had rear spacers and It looked even

Oh I agree I was just stating the companies both said an inaccurate estimation so I was just trying to warn people salesman were claiming something different than actual real life scenario is. By the way do you have any good side pics of your truck with the lift. I'm looking at that or the BDS myself. Wanna figure which to save up for.

Nice. Well glad someone got someone that knew whats up. To check what I was told I called them again and they said the same about 1.5 on each side. Lol.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
