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

Former Dodge Ram owner ('99). First Chevy, first post. '15 Silverado LT w/ Rally 2 package, blacked out emblems/wheels. Nice truck!

 

Recently I've found some small damage on the rims and equate that to the low profile side walls on the Bridgestone Dueler P285/45R22 Tires. (Sidenote: I believe this is about a 32 in). I figured I might as well get a bigger sidewall tire and started thinking about tires fitting the 22 inch rims, total tire size, possible down-size of rim (18 or 20), tire rub etc. Figured I would check into a possible lift, did some research and see a lot of people level their trucks and thought I may go that route. Let me say upfront I'm pretty much ignorant when it comes to suspensions, levels, lifts etc.

 

 

Started reading this topic from the beginning, got about a third of the way, couldn't find what I was looking for so I decided to cut to the chase so if this has been answered before I apologize.

 

While doing some research about lifts etc. I found a lot of people choose to level the Silverados. I felt this was a good thing to do as it's economical and easy to install. BUT, during my "research" I also found out I have the Z60 suspension, which apparently is an inch lower thank stock (I knew the truck rode a bit low but didn't know why). I haven't seen a lot of info about lifts on Z60s. Anyhoo...If my truck was stock, I would probably just go with a 2.5 lift with a possible 1.5 body lift. But, since I'm low, that won't get me where I want. So, should I pursue a possible 4 in lift and if so, does anyone have an idea on how that would affect my trucks ride with the Z60 sport suspension?

 

Thanks in advance,

My 2016 A/T. Pro Comp Stage 2 Coil Over kit set at 9" up front and slightly lower in the rear. Fuel 22x12 FF02 Forged wheels and 35x12.50 Toyo Open Country M/T. 1.5" rear wheel spacers as well. Drives like it did when it came off the lot (imo). Maybe a touch stiffer on the suspension. Only needed a minor trim on the front lower air dam. Love these trucks!

Welcome to the forum. If you do a 4" lift, then you'll be replacing the stock suspension and the z60 thing won't matter. Lots of great kits out there for these trucks. In the 4" range I see a lot of guys posting about the 4.5" zone or the 4" BDS. There are others. Check out this thread about "posting your 4 inchers". Don't worry it's not a bunch of small dicks. It's trucks with 4" lifts. Should give you some examples to work from.

Thanks Nate. I'll check it out. I did a little more digging and figured what you said, the lift would cure most of the Z60 issues.

I really like it and also really like the powder coating of the kit parts. Well thought out and well done.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      One would think. BUT....This is what a Google search gives for the GM OLM system:    It doesn't measure oil condition save the highly indirect water temperature. It should measure oil temperature and as we've discussed they are not as closely related as one might assume. The algorithm is based on expected conditions at the end of a certain number of miles or revolutions. And sirs, this estimated value is not tilted in the engines favor. It favors the OEM's bottom line. There are no magical number of miles nor revolutions. No magical time limit. There is only what can be measured directly and only in the broadest of terms would the values used even come close to reality.    It samples nothing. It has no idea where the oil started or where it will finish given the limited values use to create the algorithm. It is just a reminder for the brain dead to do something at some time to keep the warranty in tact. Pure fiction.    Key Factors in Oil Life Calculation The OLM calculates the remaining oil life percentage based on the following factors: Factor Description Engine Revolutions Tracks the number of engine revolutions since the last reset, decreasing oil life with use. Mileage Since Last Reset Monitors the distance driven since the last oil change, capped at 7,500 miles for most models. Time Since Reset Decreases oil life over time, dropping to 0% after one year, regardless of mileage. Engine Temperature Adjusts oil life based on coolant temperature; exceeding 260°F sets oil life to 0%.

      Towing power and I guess MPG matter that’s why I may end up going with a gear swap as soon as they’re available for this truck if I’m correct

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By GMTruckGuy74 · Posted

      If I may, I'd like to post my prediction of the trim levels for the 2027 GMC Sierra, based on what was released/introduced today about the Chevy Silverado.   Using the "Professional Grade" wording already in use by GMC, here are the eight (8) trims I believe the Sierra will offer (comparable Chevy trim in parenthesis): Sierra Pro (Work Truck/WT) Elevation (Custom) Elevation Premium -or- Ultimate (Silverado) AT4 (Custom Trail Boss) AT4 Premium -or- Ultimate (Trail Boss) AT4X (ZR2) Denali (High Country) Denali Ultimate (N/A) If GMC would rather simplify the trim levels, then I predict six (6) with package upgrades in parenthesis: Sierra Pro (with a Graphite package upgrade option) Elevation (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4 (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4X (with AEV and Ultimate packages upgrade) Denali Denali Ultimate  Let's see if I'm close.

      Auto start stop disable

      By revmanii · Posted

      I have to believe there are already a bunch of threads on this, but my searches didn't turn up much. While I like the ease of a plugin solution like the Carbyte, It appears it disables the AFM or DFM too, and is not configurable to only disable the auto stop/start. So, I'm looking at the Autostop Eliminator product. I like the idea of it better, but I'm concerned about the install and having to pull so many panels to get it installed. Mines a 2026 work truck, so from what I've read it's a less involved install, but having watched a couple install vid's, I'm still a little intimidated. Might need to buy some plastic trim tools to get it done without breaking or marring stuff. Any experience intalling in a WT greatly appreciated.
