That's a fine looking ride.

Thank you!!! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out

Thank I really appreciate it!

Well, my Fuel Mavericks are -24 offset because I wanted to add bushwhacker fender flares. I wanted the wide looking stance and if I went with -12 they would be tucked under the fenders.

Any pics showing offset with lift? I am currently running 285/75/18s on 18x10 -24 offset on 2.5 RC lift/level. But looking at 4-6 zone/BDS lift. And wanna see how far out they stick. Edited by Horner21

Need opinions. Looking at 4-6 inch lift to clear my 18x10 -24 offset w/ 285/75/18s. Don't want to go to big like the setup I have now but to much rubbing due to offset.

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra all terrain with 5inch rcx lift kit , 20x10 rockstar rims with -24 offset and 305/55/20 copper zeon ltz tires , amp power step , bushwaker pocket style fended flares , boral exhaust with metal mulisha 4 inch tip ... Looking to put 1.25 rough country or 1.5 zone body lift to fit 35's DFD72325-B97F-4856-8878-9A39CE53EAE4.jpg58D6ADDD-DD0B-4295-A056-58AA3C086C7F.jpg0B87492D-8483-4493-9835-52660D324184.jpg

Clean truck how are you liking the RCX 5 inch? Looking at getting a 4-6 lift. Did you use the bracket kit or knuckle it? Any complaints with RCX lift?

Hey everyone.

For the guys running the Mcgauphys 7-9 lift can the fox coilovers that cognito offers work since they are for cognitos 7-9?

Or if anyone has looked into running the fox coilovers with the McGauphys and know the correct part number that would be awesome too.

 

Also to ditch the blocks that come with that kit anyone know what size deaver springs to use. Looking for either level or the rear slightly higher.

Would love the Cognito 7-9 but the quote I got was $$$$$.

Deciding between 35s or 37s.

-24 wheels usually stick out pretty good. You should look at a rough country 5 inch bracket lift that keeps the track width stock. The knuckle lifts wheel push a -24 wheel out pretty far.

I am looking at them but wanting opinions and reviews on that lift.

Well I dunno man but personally I like the wheels and tires to not stick out and look a little more factory, allow for taller tires, etc. the BDS and zone lifts as well as most others will increase front track width. I have factory 20's and the fronts stick out MAYBE an inch so with anything 0 offset and negative you are looking at at least an inch and a half in front and greater. I also don't like spacer lifts. That's why I got fox coil overs so I can use more suspension. That's my opinion, but as far as reviews go I actually have heard from a few guys that the rough country lifts aren't very high quality. I've never ran them tho.

I am ecstatic how the zone lift works on my 2016 Sierra! Also has the ranch I front strut assembly! I have owned several truck lifted 6" or higher and this is the most stable smooth riding setup I have ever been in.attachicon.gifimage.jpeg

 

Looks good. Whats your offset? Also you got any views of the wheels sticking out?

Knuckle lift is easier to install and usually cheaper if you are comparing the same brand. Your wheel will stick out beyond the fender and you will have to run rear spacers in the rear if you want it to match. The bracket lift will keep all of your stock angle and stock track. Basically the way I look at it is my truck looks like it is 2500 HD that is maybe an inch taller. It looks like something the factory could build and is not overstated. I could not get away with a lot of the set up a that people run on here in Massachusetts Technically I am illegal now. But looking stock brings no attention.

 

Are you running the 5" RCX Bracket Kit? If so how do you like it? I am looking at that kit beacuse I am already running 18x10s -24 offset and dont want my wheels/tires sticking any further out then they are. Also anymore pics?

Yes this is the bracket lift. Only pics I have are the ones in this thread when I talked lk about my build and the one in my signature. Also I saw you ask chandler . His is also the bracket lift. It was mentioned easy on in this thread.

Almost forgot I love the lift. The shocks not so much. But I only paid 1000.00 for the kit so I can afford to upgrade the shocks. Fronts have the factory Ranchos which are fine by me. What other pics are you looking for I might be able to take a few more.

    • Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.
    • So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized. 
    • 4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.   
    • All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
