Awesome! Thanks for the info Rotten. Glad to hear yours fits in the garage. Your truck and another white one on here (can't find his name) with the same wheels have me leaning towards the same set up.

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.

6" ProComp Stage 1 lift replaced ProComp Rear shock with Fox 2.0 shocks. 295/60 R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers with 20" x 9" Moto Metal wheels with -12 offset. 2" wheel spacers in the rear to bring the track width out to match the front. My truck is a four wheel drive.

 

CJ asked a good question earlier about clearance for his garage, just to reference for anyone else that has similar concerns because I was nervous as well. The clearance I need for my set up is 80".

You're saying your truck fits in the garage? And just to confirm.. Does your truck stand 80" tall with or w/o that OnStar antrnna? Or your garage is 80" high?

I think my garage is 82"... Would be awesome if I could squeeze a 6" lift and 35's in there.

 

I just need to find someone local with this setup to come drive by my house! Ha

Sorry for clarity. I have an 82" opening in my garage like you do and my truck does indeed fit. With the OnStar antenna I measure 80" so I have a little bit of room yet, perhaps a windshield mounted 50" light bar will take up the rest of that??? Kind of unsettling playing the limbo the very first time, good luck.

Wow! Awesome! Any idea how deep your garage is? Can't remember the depth of mine, but there is a raised portion of concrete in the back. If I get 35's that will make the front stick out closer to the garage door. As of now, the only way I can park my '11 sierra in my garage is backwards. There isn't enough over hang in the front to pull straight in. Have to back in.

 

I guess I can always let the air out of my tires if bad weather is coming or something.

Just finished the lift on my truck. This isn't the best picture. I'll get some more up after a wash this weekend.

7" inch rough country. I was skeptical of rcx a little. But it went together well and look like its made pretty well. Still rides great too.

Man you must be planning some very serious off-roading.

Well.... Its a half ton IFS truck with 20 inch wheels. I'm obviously not planning on any serious offroading. However, the mud terrain tire and extra ground clearance certainly help quite a bit during the rainy season at my hunting property.

Its about 82.5 to 83 to the top of the onstar antenna. Not sure about the car wash. Around here they don't like wide tires at the car wash... I'll try it tomorrow and see.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
