So I just purchased a 2014 Silverado LTZ Z71 2WD and I love it. I want to put a lift kit on it but I don't want to change the how smooth of a ride it has. Is there any kit out there that can give me a 2 to 4 inch lift without changing my stock ride much if at all?

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've heard some really good things about the Zone and BDS 4" kits but can't speak at all from personal experience.

I have the Zone 6 1/2" suspension lift, and IMO; the ride quality is equal to or better than it was when it was stock. Again, this is my opinion and others may disagree as to what they are experiencing. That is the 6 1/2" lift, I see that you are looking for a smaller lift, so that may change the quality of the ride. I would think that a 2" level would give you a slightly rougher ride, maybe not - just not sure, someone with a level may want to chime in to give a better perspective. Good luck in your decision.

I took my rc3.5 off, and did the ready lift 4 SST. Much smoother over speed bumps.

When you put on this 4" kit dod you run stock wheels ?

So my question is what 4" lift can i use my stock wheels and tires with . Fabtechs 4" kit requires a wheel spacer which im not a fan of and RC doesnt specify and i like the look and cost of readylfts SST 4" kit but it does not state whether the Control arm will rub on stock 20's or not. Anyone have any advice? I want to stick in the 4" range

I am in the same boat as you. Was hoping to find a 4" lift that allowed me to also use my stock 20" wheels. So far the only thing I've found is the RC 5". I've called many manufactures looking for a 4" that allows OEM wheels with no luck. I'm curious to see if others in this thread have found something I haven't.

My wife has been an attorney for 9 years and we decided she should stay home with the kids more and give me a chance to travel and grow my business. Short story... we need to lower the money going out the door.

 

Not a single thing wrong with the truck. I'll probably end up getting a 08-12 Sierra.

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
