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?

You can get custom length fox coilovers with resivors directly from fox for around 1600-1800 I believe just for fronts. You can also get the matching length rear shocks for a few hundred bucks.

 

You can also contact king shocks distributors and they can order you custom length ones.

 

Other than that you can just get oem spec coilovers and keep that extension above the springs but I think if you go coils might as well do it right

Can anyone tell me if there is anything I would need to know about adding a 1.25" body lift to my 14 sierra that already has a 6" rough country lift? I was gonna keep the body lift rough country also. I don't believe there to be any issues but wanted to be sure before purchasing. Thanks in advance

I know theres been threads made but ill just ask here....Does anyone have issues with their rear leaf springs making super annoying noise when reversing or going forwards between 0-5mph???

 

I am pretty sure it is the leaf springs but it is really loud

I went with Bilstein 5100 adjustable front and rears. The rear Part Number: BSN-33-185569 to avoid using a rear adapter extender. This allow me to go over 6.5.

 

In addition add 1.75 rear bora adapters for evening out the rims. My rims are 20x9 with zero off set, on 35x12.50x20 Toyo MT's. Made a trim to the lower left trim, due to wheel touching the plastic, but nothing else needed trimming. I left the sway bar alone, but due plan to change the UCA, once it is time to replace them. Planning to go with Baja's UCA. I put the lift on myself, which took a day and a half. I didn't have a lift, so jack and stands took awhile. You will notice a difference in the speedo, so I picked up a Diablo Trinity, which corrected it and also help with MPG, in addition made a improvement with addition correction. I am going to get the add leaf kit, to level up the back.

Truck is looking good man, it's good to hear we have rear options (Fox and Bilsteins), the front well, pretty much anything that fits stock will work due to the spacer from Zone to achieve the lift. I'm still on the stock tune, been on it for about 2,000 miles and speedo is off by about 5mph around 65-70, i do plan to correct that by either getting the hypertech or diablo and use a canned tune, truck has always run on 91 so i will try a 91 tune. other than that, i am happy with it. i was told 1.5 bora spacers would align the rear wheels to the front, good to know it's 1.75, did you have to trim the stock studs on the rear?

Thanks and glad to hear things are coming along. 1.75 there are no trims to the studs, so you are good to go. I was running the 91 setup, but go back in forth. Just remember to switch the mod, should you use the different gas. Yes, the spacer helps with the shock options. If you decide to want and remove the spacer, Kings and Fox shocks lets you get a true setup.

1.5" actually evens it (cv spacer is 1.5"), but a lot of guys opt for 1.75" wheel spacers due to not wanting to trim the studs. With the 1.5" spacers you need to trim the studs

    • Yes, and only a couple years before delivery. 🙄
    • 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. 
    • 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.
