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

5" spindle with 2" spacer in front and 4" block in rear. 33/12.5's on 22X12's. Tires are on the small side as far as lift but I think anything bigger would rub and I don't want to trim or cut anything

Whole setup looks perfect size wise.

 

Do you happen to know your fender measurements?

very cool, for the time being i may just plasti dip them to black out the rest of the truck, only chrome i have is the steps that came with it and the rims.. so i agree, since i got the Z71 blacked out edition, the chrome stands out a bit, but im ok with that until i get around to blacking things out.. 

 

Nice truck if thats yours.. i was considering the window visors, but the thin low profile ones that almost seem like its part of the window they are so close and slim.. ive heard mixed things about having them on the cars/trucks.. not sure if its based on the style, but some complain of whistling when driving with the windows down 

 

If thats your truck in the pic, do you have any issues? Are they the channel type that slip into place?

 

Yeah that's mine. They are the in-channel visors. I don't get whistling at all. Might be a slight increase in road noise because they are squeezing some of the weather stripping, but barely noticeable if at all. Only 'issue' i've had is sometimes the auto-up thinks it hit something and rolls the window back down. Might be partially because i didn't realize they want you to leave the window up for 72 hrs or something in 60 degree plus weather. I installed them in my garage on a 20 degree night and I think I had to use the window the next day. So maybe if it had the right environment to 'cure' it wouldn't do that.

2.5 in front

Remove 1" stock lift block from rear and replace with 2"

 

Personally I would just want to level the front.

 

Sounds like the front need 1.5" of lift to level if you are leaving the rear stock. I wonder what tire would fit then? Probably not the size they list with their lift kit

305/55 with 20 inch rims 5.71 (or less) backspacing (my current setup with Rancho easy lift 2") or 285/65 will work obviously 33-12.50R20 are a little big, would require norcal mod or 4" kit

I had a 2.5 ready lift with 33x12.50x 20, with only issue of reversing at full lock. 4” lift should clear.

What lifts can I buy that don't require spacers for the rear wheels?



With the lift kit, the front end is pushed out. Therefore, if you would like your rims to be equal distance out, it is recommend to put them. I went with bora adapters.

None of them REQUIRE spacers for the rear

Some guys don't even worry about it

BRACKET lifts as they're called don't push out the front wheels.  Rough country has one as well as CST I believe

They're a bit more pricey than knuckle lifts

^ this is correct. I did a TON of research before lifting mine and came to the conclusion that bracket lifts seemed to cause more issues than a knuckle lift. So I went with a Zone 6.5” lift.

I’m not saying you don’t get issues with both. But I’d do the knuckle lift.

What issues have u heard about bracket lifts? I know you have to relocate the steering rack.  I'm still on the fence for what lifts I'm gonna do eventually.  I know the truck "needs" one (crew cab std box so it's a bit like a limousine)

      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.

      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.
