Thanks! I have not, just back and forth to work since installing and taking to the shop to verify my alignment. Have a couple finishing touches to get done over the weekend. They ride amazing though! A nice firm controlled ride that soaks up big bumps, driveway lips, and speed bumps like they are nothing. No more float and bounce like stock. I could literally drive over my driveway lip at 30mph with an open cup in the cup holder and not spill a thing. Crazy.

Looks like you cranked them to 2.5" or greater?

That SDHQ skid plate looks great. I really want one but I would still need to mount my front license plate to it and I'm not sure if it would look good like that.

That's a bummer with the front plate. This thing fit absolutely perfect, SDHQ did a great job with this. I'm with you though, not sure it would look right with a front plate.

 

 

Truck is BAD. I dig it! Really wishing i could go snag me some Kings for mine. Going for wheels first though

 

Thanks! No regrets, 100% would spend the money again to do it just like this. The Kings ride like their price tag, worth every penny so far and I haven't even worked them yet.

This is basically how the 3.0's came right out of the box. I ended up adding 1 full turn for CV axle to shock clearance (since the adjusters are on the bottom on the 3.0's) and the height turned out great. Instructions said something crazy like 2.5 or 3 turns = 1" ride height change so I didn't do much with my single turn.

This is my 2014 RCSB 2wd. Lowered in front with 2" BellTech Spindles, rear is 2" BellTech Shackles and the block removed, about 3" total.

 

20x8.5" Black Rhino Pondora wheels with 18mm offset. 275/55-20 GoodYear Eagles. Rubs a little bit in reverse, I expected it though. Kind of want to drop it just a little more to get rid of the rake but don't know how to other than removing the helper leaf spring.

 

First is a before shot of the day I picked it up used last year:

Second shot is as it sits today after the new wheels and removing the stripe kit, debadge, and tinting it.

2016 Silverado with 20x9 +18 Gear Alloy Big Block. 295/55/20 Toyo AT2 extreme. 2" RC Level. No Rub.

 

 

Love the truck! I have a 2017 just like it. I am wanting to do the same rim size offset and tire size. I like that your wheels are still tucked into the fender well. Your signature says you have a 1.5in body lift, was that done after these pictures? Did you have to do any trimming to clear that setup when you had just 2" RC? Any complaints with the setup and the 2" RC?

 

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thanks. No trimming needed with this set-up. My only complaint has been the drop in mileage due to the weight of the tires. I still get 16/18 mpg and I would definitely do it again.

 

Here's a pic with the added body lift.

I'm debating between a 285/45/22 tire/wheel combo. Or a 33x12.5x20 setup. Anyone running a factory replica 22" wheel? If so how are they quality wise?

Got bored today and hit the farm and CRP for a bit, to see how the RTs handle some Mississippi gumbo. This is coming from street tires so there is a noticeable difference in traction already offroad. In the buckshot heavy clay stuff, you gotta keep em spinning, which i figured as much. Though they do clean out quicker than i thought they would. Also to add for you guys going with 0 offset if you get in mud you're going to want to invest in fender flares with a tire that 11.5" wide or larger. I've got mud on top of my truck, in the bed of my truck, and of course all on the outside. On the CRP with a little more defined bottom i went all the way back on our place in 2wd. This is all at 35psi so driving range for me. If i had a pump i'd air down to 20 just to see the effects.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
