Can't complain about the price.??  Leave tires on until they wear out or you trade/sell your truck.

Bravo!   IMO best looking truck ever posted on this forum (and there are some sweet trucks on here) like that red one above.  But those stocker 20 chrome spider webs win!   It looks like a stock truck on steroids...just the way I like them.  No debadging, dechroming, expensive rims, or other nonsensical "mods"...just height and big rubber.  Well done...I'm jelly!

Just as I want to build my 2015 Denali. Great job. No stabilatrac issues either I assume

You most certainly can use OEM wheels with the BDS 6" kit.  If you have the Denali 20s then they are the same width as my 20" snowflakes, and I'm 99% sure the GM 22s are as well so you shouldnt have fitment issues unless there is something specific to the BDS Denali / Magnaride kit that I'm not aware of.  I do have 1.5" BORA spacers on the rear not out of necessity but simply to even out the front/rear track width after lifting.  No issues whatsoever with the Stabilitrak or other vehicle systems.

I also have stock 20s with 35x12.5r20 Toyo RT and the BDS 6inch fox coilover lift and they fit perfectly.  Only the stock 20inch or 22inch will fit the BDS fit.  Anything smaller will not clear the knuckle.  I have no rub and I even lowered the coilovers to 4.5" of lift and no rub.post-130528-0-20933700-1499777915_thumb.jpgmsg-130528-0-09109500-1506472962_thumb.jpeg

Hi, I can't wait to get the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2's on my 2015 Silverado. How do you like them? I'm still running the Continental CrossContact LX20 275/55r20 that came with it new. Always wanted A/T though. Planning on getting them in the fall. Also If you can check out my post with additional?

Ditched my aftermarkets for some OEM GMC 18's - Not a "lift" per say, but Bilstein 5100's set to 1.8" 285/65r18 Falken WildPeak AT3.

Yes gm 20x9 wheels 35x12.5r20 toyo open country rt tires and bds 6 in kit.  The front fox coilover were adjusted down 1.5” to give it some rake and make the cv axles level. Bds didn’t offer a 4 inch kit with fox coilovers when I installed but they do now. I have no rub at all

You didn’t have to add any spacers to the wheels? Ride quality? I’m just checking before I install on my Denali

Dfcg23upt4sDxbjt-kUWew36K3IsCfxwK-7VSbvrOnly difference in kits is the brackets they include for the magnaride sensors. Brackets to extend rear shocks. Probably little cheaper for my truck. I will have it on by the end of August! My birthday present!

Would you go with the 4 inch kit now? 6 too high??

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
