I have the BDS 6inch lift with Fox coil overs and BDS rear leafs. For a 6inch lift the oe 1inch block is supposed to be used with the new leaf springs. My truck is sitting 1inch higher in rear and I am getting some binding when in reverse. I think the drive line angle is too much but if the spring settle maybe the binding will go away? I have read that JEEP BDS lift leaf springs on other forums settle 1-2 inches after 2-3 weeks.

 

I am also getting stabilitrack coming on in turns if I am on the gas. Wondering if this is caused by the driveline angle being too much. BDS told me if I correct Speedo and have dealer 0 out the steering wheel position sensor. i am going to call them about the binding tomorrow.

      For 2 years doing repairs or maintenance has not easy with my physical issues. Something simple isn't simple any more.      Sept. 6 2024 left shoulder 2 rotator cuff tears, bicep torn from bone. Still having issues, pain and dexterity problems left hand. Go to have EMG test on the 27th, second test. I'm left handed.   Oct. 3rd 2025 right hand carpal tunnel surgery and ulnar nerve,  end of 3 fingers still lack good feeling. Makes it difficult to do things.   March 3rd 2026, Cervical fusion, 4 vertebrae. Still have pain in neck and upper back.    I put upgraded shocks on our side by side, not hard but it took me over 2 hours. Oil changes are frustrating because nothing works like it used to.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps
