it's only a .5" spacer, so it's a .25" thick. this is only as a precaution in case the tires won't fit up front. talked to a guy who has done some really nice trucks out in alabama and this is what he recommended. I didn't go with the 6.5" lift because it's too tall for my taste, and more importantly my lifestyle. I need to be under a certain to height to get into work and into my garage. That being said, if i need to, i can just get the upper strut spacer and rear block to make my lift a 6.5" from zone. so it's cool.

Right on man. Make sure to post pics!

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.

Bobbylowe,

I think the 5 inch lift is going to make those tires look small.

I have the 5 inch rcx. I think my tires look a little small and they are 34 inches. I am in the same boat as you. These tires cost me 1300 and they only have 10k on them.

Can anyone tell me what lift this truck might have. I have looked and looked for where I found this picture and can't seem to find it again. I'd like to do the same on mine.post-153621-0-85018400-1455566027_thumb.jpeg

It looks great, but I personally think it needs more negative offset. I know many people dislike spacers, but I think some 1-2" spacers would do it some good in the looks department

I prefer the flush look.... But thats just me.

I hope you're wrong Insane - I opted for the 7.5" and I'm dropping it off in the morning. I decided if I have to bite the bullet, I'd rather have the lift I want and have to get new tires. The shop here said they use 305/55r20 tires with the 5" lift. I'm praying that it won't look silly, but I don't want to have to do a bodylift to fit 35's when it's time to upgrade to the next size.

 

I'll definitely post some after pictures.

7.5" lift?? Yah 33s are going to look TINY you could run a 36 tire under that like a 325/60/20

You're likely right. I'd rather she'll out the $$ for tires than have to get more lift when the time comes.

 

This time tomorrow I'll post after pictures.

I agree....

That video is what sold me on my lift.... I had been pondering for awhile and then saw that and ordered it the same weekend.

As promised. 7.5" RCX lift with Falken Wild Peak A/T 305/55r20. What I didn't anticipate was the front wheels sticking out further than the rear after the lift. I'm definitely going to have to get spacers to even it out. They're definitely too small, but will suffice temporarily.

Wohooo 36" tires!!!!! Haha

 

Yes most lifts will widen the front track and if you are OCD like me you will need to get spacers to even out the back

      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.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      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
