Anybody have any suggestions on what I should do with my rubbing issue on inner fender. I don't want to cut anything. I have RC 2.5 level with 305 55 20 and 0 offset. Do u think a 1.5 zone body lift would help?

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

Actually I got a 2014 crew cab, 6' suspension and 35's. I just measured it. It's about 83 inches to top of antenna. I don't think it's going to fit in your 81" garage. My garage is 90", fortunately.

ok, that sucks! :( but thanks for the info

Hey guys, i just recently purchased my first sierra (2014 Sierra 1500 SLE double cab) and I'm looking into leveling it or putting a small lift on it. The only problem is that i have a 7 foot high garage that I still want to use. Anyone have any input on overall height with the lift/level that they have and what size tires. Thanks for all your help!

I have no clue. I didn't get it back till late this evening. Drove in 2 hrs of traffic, and got home and have been out to look at it. I came from a RC 2.5 kit. The real height will be after I get the other tires on.

Ever get an overall height measurement?

I'm running a 2.5" leveling kit now with 285/65/18s on it and clear my 80 inch door opening with 2 inches to spare. If you need more measurements I'll be glad to send them to you after I'm done with work today

Taking my truck in tommorrow morning to get the 6inch Procomp stage2 lift installed along with the 20inch wheels on 35 inch Toyo's. It feels like Christmas eve. She should be done by Thursday.

Any pics of this setup? Also, do you have an overall height measurement to the top of the onstar antenna? Thanks

Another pic is my truck next to my dad's stock sierra.

So after doing my research and picking out a quality kit my dad decides to scrap the whole idea of a lift. A few weeks later he decides to lift it once again and doesnt say anything to me... Anyways the shop ends up talking him out of the BDS with Fox coilovers and he ended up with a basic Rancho 6" lift and is turning some 35's. That's all I know for now but he seems to really like it. Going to see it tomorrow, I'll get all the specs and take some pictures for reference.

Any chance you can get an overall height measurement to the top of the onstar antenna on that rig??

Jeffromx I see to no avail you have been asking members who have a lift to get roof measurements. When mine gets out of the shop either tonight or in morning I'll measure for you. Also you posted photo of Zone 5" lifted truck. Either that's a 2500 or original poster has a 4.5" zone cause I don't think Zone has a 5" for the 1500. Could be wrong but don't think so.

 

 

Wow I type slow!

 

Went back and looked and that is a beautiful 2500.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
