For anyone who was wondering about tire fitment with a 4" lift, here are a few pictures of my truck. I ended up going with a 4" Fabtech and 295/60R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers with stock wheels. Rides great and only slightly rubs the plastic wheel well and full lock. Hopes this helps anyone who was curious.

I hate you for this. I was going to go with a 6" and 35s but looking at your truck it makes me question if I really need that big of a tire.

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

Anyone have any popping/clunk come from the front of their truck after their lift? I've had the shop check everything and all bolts/connections/linkages related to the suspension and diff drop are all tight. Wheels as well. They recommended having the body mounts checked, since Silverados can have problems with them? They also said it could be driveline slack.

 

Going to have it looked at during it's oilchange coming up, but figured I would see if anyone here has any thoughts.

Had some fun ripping my truck through the mountains this past weekend. Trails were in Big Bear, CA. 71705a273c5b5af17b93779f8f983f83.jpg

Thanks man. I love the truck and bike. That's my full on downhill bike with 200 mm of suspension up front (Boxxer dual crown fork). I use it at ski resorts in the summer that are lift operated bike parks/trails: Mammoth, Park City, Big Bear etc. Bike is 2013 Specialized Status II.

Mine popped first left hand turn of the day, but not always. It doesn't do it since an alignment. The only other difference is it is much warmer outside now. I think the pop was a ball joint.

How is the ride with this set up? I am looking at purchasing this kit so I can clear 33/12.50/22 with a +12 offset. Looking for improved ride over the stock set up...so hard to figure out if it's worth the $2500 or just get a set of blistering 5100's for $350. Any input you have would be greatly appreciated.

The ride is perfect. I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect kit to level the truck and improve on and off road performance. I got exactly what I was looking for.

 

The ride on road is the same if not a little better than stock and off road it is night and day. The coilovers really absorb large dips on road and rough dirt roads off road.

 

Also the guys at Camburg are easy to work with and would answer any questions you have. I would call them because they have recommended wheel off set for this kit and right now i dont remember what it was.

Anyone having issues in 4wd after lift? I have zone 6.5 in my 2016 Sierra and when turning in 4wd I hear clicking noises and it feels like it's binding up quite bad, but going straight it feels ok. I just noticed this and lifts been on since February but I haven't really used 4wd

I've used my 4WD a few times on dirt and sand since lift 2 months ago and it seems to function the same way as before. I'll take another look at it when I leave work but I believe mine is the same as before. There is a notable difference in feel, turning, handling, ride comfort in 4WD even when these trucks are stock. Did you use the 4WD prior to lift?

On turning it will make a noise in 4x4 because it's your differential working.

I think it was because I was on hard dirt, getting to much grip kinda like what would happen on pavement. Lesson learned lol

Please help me...

 

I had a 7.5rcx lift put on my new 2016 Sierra last weekend with 35's. Now my stabilitytrac and traction control lights turn on when making turns at slow speeds. The CPU must think my truck is about to flip over when turning now. Anyone with this issue before? I need help!

 

Here's another issue I've noticed also... Now I'm getting a bad vibrating at 65mph and up after the lift, was fine before. I'm really starting to regret this whole lift thing. :(

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      And to top it off finally.......................these small GM LS engines are designed to SPIN!!!!!  Why choke them down to just off idle for cruising.  Why/how the "bean counters" have influenced the "engineering department" at GM is beyond me.   They took a solid platform of an engine and turned into a joke in OEM form!!!

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.
