Anyone with a lift have any trouble with alignment? I have had to have mine aligned 4x in less than 2000 miles. I do not do any off roading. Just normal driving. In have a 4 inch BDS lift with 295/65/r20"s. So I don't have anything crazy. Any suggestions would be great.

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

4.5" zone with cooper st maxx 35's

 

This truck looks great. I guess I'm getting old but I love a clean simple setup. Makes me regret getting rid of my stock wheels.

Something is askew. my 6" on 35s drives smooth as butter, i still max the governor out here and there, and with the difference in speedo/governor and actual speeds means it's bout 105MPH. mine pulls slightly to the right, but not enough to go back, even though i had a free follow up alignment.

appreciate it man, not really; maybe if i wasnt missing the center cap in the back haha. ill get some quality photos up with the new lift/tires soon.

go for it. my truck is 2wd so the lift is just a 3" spindle lift; cant really mess that up. and then the other 3 inches are from the spacer on the front suspension. no change in ride quality, suspension geometry remains unchanged, etc. i have a 4 block on the rear for the 6 up front, pretty level

How much does that kit run?

I havent had any issues out of mine but my lift is still pretty new. 4 times in 2k is insane. My alignment shop told me to bring mine back after 1k for a final check and torgue on everything.

buy it from there, best price, and SUPREME customer service. there was an issue with my order on the supplier's end (maxtrac) but they went above and beyond and fixed it, shipping quickly to meet my deadlines, and were fantastic people.

Did you have to do any trimming? I called maxtrac and they said wait for their 7 inch kit coming out before trying to run 35's on my 2014 2wd

2 things to note. the 2wd 2014 silverados are the exact same height as the 4WD. ive measured multiple times. first generation to be like this.

 

second, they told me that they had their seven inch kit coming out soon, more than 6 months ago. so it very well could be tomorrow, but not the case thus far.

 

i have not had to trim the front valance like you have to almost every other generation. i did tear off the driver's side plastic trim piece that is on the wheel well right in front of the driver's door. in reverse at full lock it rubs those pieces slightly.

 

IDK where you are, but i will be selling my 20" wheels as seen in my photos, and the used 35s (less than 50% tread) when you are ready.

thanks for the info it was very helpful. I am in Louisiana and have 20's already. Not sure that would get me where I need to go.

Does anyone have a picture of a 6 inch lift on 33s?

This is after my 6" install with 33" trail grapplers. I have now switched to 35" toyo's

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
