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.

Dang - that looks great! I can't tell for certain - are those 35x12.5 Toyo MT on 18 inch or 20 inch wheels? I'm guessing 18. Either way, looks top notch!

 

Yep 18s and 35x12.50. Thanks!

 

Probably going to try the Method Roost next. Anything bronze with the black fake bead lock ring makes the rims look way smaller.

I imagine that is especially true from a distance, but I really like that look - makes the tires look bigger and off-road capable. I like what you did with the bumper as well, and I'm guessing wheel spacers in the back - looks good man!

Sometimes I like it sometimes I don't haha.

 

No spacers, wheels are 18x9 -12.

Just FYI if anyone buys a zone lift...dont waste your money with the plain zone shocks or "upgraded" nitro shocks. They are garbage, I recently had work done and put in fox shocks and i checked the nitro ones they removed. I was able to compress them with little to no effort and one on the rebound sounded like it was leaking. They have maybe 10k miles of simple street driving no offroad

I went with the new Havoc Offroad 6.5" suspension lift and am pretty happy with it so far. I will probably be upgrading to the Fox 2.0 shortly though.

Well thats nice to know. Glad I went with the Fox 2.0 when I bought the kit.

Nice looking trucks everyone!

Remember, most bracket lift kits reuse the stock front shocks and include some crappy rear twin tubes. Even the upgraded shocks are not worth it in some cases. Fox & King both offer full length replacement coilovers that will replace the front lift spacer/shock combo with a full length, 2.5" diameter coilover. This will greatly improve the ride quality, looks, and offroad performance.

So I'm looking into getting the zone 4.5" or the BDS 4" kit. I want to keep my factory Denali 22" wheels and run 33/12.50 tires. Does anyone have an opinion on which kit would be better and have a pic of their setup?

both kits are great and they are the same company. Zone is the more "generic" kit which utilizes the stock struts/coils whereas BDS has replacement struts or fox coilovers, although you can run fox with the Zone too. (Fox owns BDS and Zone)

 

I have 33s on the Zone 4.5

Hi everyone, New to this Forum recently purchased 2017 LT Z71 in Pull Me Over Red, looking to do Lift kit was just wondering Tire sizes and offset,

 

planning on doing BDS 6-7" lift just for the warranty aspect of it, i'm from Toronto, Ontario and dealers love pulling the " that voids your warranty " card at any chance they get.

 

i like the Fuel Assault rims but am open for options, most likely 20" rim with 35" tire, but like i said im not sure what offset is needed, i dont want the flush look but i dont want the tires sticking out too much

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
