That's a sweet ride, I'm actually doing the Zone 6.5" lift with a 20x10 -19 with 325/60/20 latter in this week. Do you have any rubbing with that setup?

 

Quite a bit originally due to the extra width and height on the tire over a normal 35X12.50 Nitto. Front at about 30% turn was hitting the metal corner on the front bumper and at full lock it was rubbing the rear firewall inner fender (black plastic insert). I solved the front and gained plenty of room by spacing the front bumper out (1/2") a hair and raising it up 1/4" as well. Now I just need to address the slight rub at full lock on rear. The Zone knuckles might not stick out as far as the RC knuckles which would eliminate the issue. That wheel offset you have is 5mm less than mine which will help as well. I have a good 4" to the swaybar at full lock so I could have stuffed them inside the wheel well more if I had the option on the wheels. The company I work for is a RC vendor as well as for several wheel manufacturers so I was being cheap and only went with what I got dealer cost on.

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

Nice truck. Anymore pics? I have a Brownstone and haven't seen too many lifted. I'm hoping to lift mine in a few months.

Nice truck. May want to consider blacking out the chrome trim pieces and handles to match the wheels.

Truck looks great! I'm running a similar setup with the BDS 6" and 35s. My truck has got a bit of a lean to it. Did you go blocks or leafs in back? I went with the blocks and did not add a leaf which would likely level it.

 

Thanks.

Thanks. I need to do this. I don't mind a bit of rake but it's pretty extreme when towing.

Have any of you guys with zone lift or similar done any other suspension mods to your trucks like after market shocks for the front and rear? I'd like some options for rear shocks. what's available for us zone 6.5 folks? What about aftermarket control arms? Or sway bars ? Any issues with fitment with zone lift?

Also interested in hearing about people's setups. I went 6" BDS without the fox coilovers and now wanting front and rear shocks replaced with kings, fox or ???, so I can be more aggressive off road. Something that works with these lifts zone/BDS, etc.

I am running BDS 6" with FOX DSC Coilovers and Cognito UCA's. I am also running a FOX DSC rear shock as well. The ride is great. Probably as close to factory as I can get while having a lift.

Finally, a truck with some bling instead of hideous black rims and boring color matching!! Well done.

 

I'm hearing good things about the Nitto RG.

 

You running rear spacers on that knuckle lift?

Yeah 1/4 inch on the front and 2.5 on the back to even it out

Gotta ask...what do your angles look like? I've been focused on 3-4" lifts, but have been curious of this one as well.

There just as even as it was stock it's perfect angles in my opinion it couldn't be any better

      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.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
