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

When I spoke to Rough Country about their 6" lift they told me I could go no larger than 295/60R20 and that was one of the major reasons I chose to go with the BDS 6" as they said I could run a 35/12.5R20.

 

bds 6" will net you more lift than the rc 6" lift. Go with the bds and don't look back, it costs more, but you get a way more solid lift and better products.

Has any body had any issues with their g80 locker locking up after lifting their truck? I was thinking that it might encounter problems locking with a bigger and heavier tire. But again I am a novice in lifting trucks ( bds 6 in kit with fox shocks in the rear and 35 in toyo at 2 gets installed this Thursday) I simply do not know

Has anyone ran into any issues installing a lift kit after already having a 1.5"-2.5" front leveling kit? I want a lift in the future, but would like to level out the nose dive until then..... unless it would better to hold off and wait for a lift kit?

I had a level kit and now a lift. No issues. However it is a good idea to remove the level kit when you lift

Thanks

Not just the body lift, 4" all together. I have the 2.5" rough country suspension and the 1.5" zone body lift

thats what I'm going to do. I have 2.5 RC level with 305 55 20 with 0 offset rims. I'm rubbing right now at full lock. Do u think I will rub if I add 1.5 body lift? Also what offset do u run?

Just bought my 2015 crew cab short bed. Wanting to go with a 6" suspension lift and 35"s. Planning on BDS. Any input on which brands to use/not use? MOST IMPORTANTLY... can anyone tell me the height of their truck after a 6" lift and 35s?? I need to fit under my 81" garage door and I've seen used ones at all heights imagineable!!! Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Icon vehicle dynamics can custom build their shocks for whatever length you need. I had a custom set of coil overs built for my truck with a 4.5 inch lift. Pm if you want some details

Icon ride too firm for me.

 

Bilstein 7-9" adjustable struts are the best bang for the buck.

See page 71 post #1054, I've addressed this with my setup. Good luck with your decision.

I'm officially frustrated?. I have done so much research and finally purchased all the items needed to lift my truck. Afterwards I went to my local 4x4 shop to arrange for installation this Wednesday. Then today UPS brought the final pieces needed so I called my local shop to verify appointment for tomorrow and was told, due to workload he regrets to tell me I now must wait till Monday for installation.

I know it's not the end of the world but " I have ants in my pants" if you know what I mean.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
