I got a 3 inch lift on my 2014 sierra its one of those ready lift kits i believe so technically a slightly bigger leveling kit including a slightly bigger block in the rear and put the Fuel tires 33x12.5x20 and have a bit of a rub on the upper control arm on full turn and want to know what offset i can get on rims to eliminate the problem and not going crazy on the offset.

 

You'd still rub the sway bar with +18 offset for sure.

0 offset you might rub the fender but I can't confirm that.

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

Has anyone with lifted truck using a strut block extension replaced the factory struts with bilstein 5100. If so did it improve the ride ? Or is it best off to spend the extra cash on full coilOver replacement to remove the strut spacer?

Thanks

On my 2012 AWD Denali I replaced the stock shocks with Bilstein 5100's and it rode great. But that was also on a well built suspension kit from CST.

Anyone running lift spindles on a 2wd? Looking to run Maxtrac spindles, either 3" or 4.5". I'm running 20x9 +12 offset 5.5 backspace wheels. Can't get a definite answer if my wheels will work or not. I'd rather not run spacers on the front to clear the spindles.

Truck looks awesome! I sent you a private message with a few questions if you don't mind giving some feedback on your thoughts so far.

New to the fullsize game here. I personally drive a Tacoma but my dad picked up '14 Denali and I am trying to piece together a quality lift for him. It really will only be seeing street use but needs to be reliable and comfortable if the going gets tough. He is deadset on running 35's and wants as little lift as possible to clear them. I like the BDS 4" kit but want to upgrade the coilovers and rears for something like Fox, King, or Icon. I know on Tacomas Icon makes custom coilovers to fit with a drop bracket lift, do any of the reputable companies provide an option like this that would work with the BDS 4" kit? Are there any other companies I should look at that I dont know of? Thanks in advance.

Zone off-road is the sister company of BDS and is a quality lift also, but is also friendly to the bank account Edited by Mike1220

Just got off the phone with him and the off road shop talked him into a Fabtech 6" kit with Fox 2.5" Coilover and rear Fox 2.0". I'm okay with the Fox parts as I know they are good quality but I am unfamiliar with the Fabtech kit. Any input on this kit?

Im thinking about it. I just got to find time of taking off the bumper sanding and finding good weather to get it done. Also tossing around the idea of selling her

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
