Figured I'd throw up a pic right after finishing a complete 2 day detail with Adams Polishes. Great stuff!

I highly recommend it. :thumbs:

With the Glide-Ride springs, did they install with the stock blocks or did BDS supply a replacement block? Also with those springs does your truck sit below level, level or higher in rear than front?

Thanks much Sean.

Nice. Waiting for my 7-9 kit, 20x10's and toyo rt's.. thinking about upgrading the kit to coil overs as well, but can't figure out what size, or how to get them. I'm assuming you added the 1.5 BL because you rubbed with the 6" kit, I'm going with the same wheel/tire combo as you, will the lift set at 7 rub?

When I leveled my truck I swapped out the stock rear blocks with ReadyLift 2" blocks to maintain some rake. I used those 2" blocks in place of the stock blocks with the Glide ride springs for the same purpose. Rear end sits prob 1.5" higher than the front. BDS doesn't supply the blocks with the springs as they typically have you reuse the stockers.

Yup. Had slight rub at full crank in reverse. Not bad but annoying none the less. The BL did the trick. At 7" you may be close as my shop told me that trucks with the coil over kits typically sit a bit higher than the lift specs note. I was hopeful but no dice for me.

8" would be a safer bet I'm thinking if you only want to do it once. 7" may be a close gamble.

 

Mine rubbed at rear of front fender wells and not just the plastic. Would've had to trim sheet metal which I didn't want to do.

Thanks for the info, I'm trying to set this up so I get the look I want, and still be able to pull through a 7' door. I think at 8" I will be rubbing the ceiling. This is gonna be tight. Any chance you have photos before you did the flares? You can text, or email if it's easier. Thank you,

Sean

Unfortunately I don't have pics without the flairs with the lift and wheels as they were installed at the same time. Sorry man.

New Access cover today!!

IMG_0087_zpsbysggbyc.jpg

Is that the Lorado? Reason I ask is that mine seems to be a bit long from left to right where it's hard to keep it tight... But yours seems a lot less.. Especially drivers side back corner just to the right of the Z71 decal... That almost looks short... I know the access' have adjusters but I just haven't messed with them yet... Been 18 months and love it...

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
