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

I am in the process of getting a 6" BDS coilover lift and 35" toyo mt's on 2015 silverado. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with gearing or more specifically needing to re-gear after swapping up to a 35" tire? Anyone with this set, is the 5.3 beefy enough for that size. I am used to diesels and this is my first gas truck so I'm just not sure what expect.

Most would probably be okay with it... but if you are used to diesels like me. There's a noticable difference in a gas truck.

 

And yes... Those wheels are atrocious

I have that setup on a 2014 Sierra. It's not terrible, but if you're used to diesels, you're gonna have to temper your expectations.

 

I'm definitely thinking of regearing it, but I also may keep it as it is for a while and eventually sell it to get into a Duramax.

 

I have a hard time making up my mind, or being satisfied.

If your use to diesels, then YES a regear will be wanted. I'm just running a 33" and want to regear. Mine hunts for gears and it's annoying. I plan on 4.56 gears this summer.

Just ordered my RCX 7" today, Does anyone know if factory 17s will fit the lift? I don't see any reason why they wont fit but RCX told me that I couldn't fit anything smaller then a 20. I wanna put my lift in when it comes in but my new wheels and tires are on back order so they will take alot longer to get here.

Can you post pics of your truck now with 35's. I am my 6" BDS lift put in next week and getting tires and wheels this week. What offset did you use on your wheels?

So I just ordered my RCX 7" for my sierra and i was just wondering is it possible to fit the stock 17s on the truck afterwards? I have a set of 35" tires in the shop and my rims and tires are on back order. I just wanna get my lift in haha

You'll need spacers to run 17's. Only stock 20's will work

Really? what would get in the way that would make them require spacers all of a sudden?

Here's how my 2014 All Terrain sits as of now. So far i've blacked out the grill and rear gm emblem, debadged, door handle swap and mirror cap swap, tint, 6" Fabtech lift and 35's. Upcoming mods are black window trim, aftermarket wheels and AMP power steps.

thats my thoughts. Ive been over the install papers tons of times. Ive looked over the parts, and bunch of different lifts. I cant see any reason why they wouldnt fit but i dont want to put the lift in find out they dont fit and then not have a truck while i wait for my 20s to show up

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
