4" lift with 33x12 tire - perfect size for a DD! That's the route I'm going when I need tires. You running about 0 offset? What's your clearance at full lock at your UCA and swaybar?

Yeah I think it's the perfect height too. The wheels are 20x9.5 with 5" back space. So a little more aggressive than a x9 with 0. Plenty of clearance everywhere right now. Theses are left over tires and wheels from my last truck. Eventually I want to get some x10.

Anyone have pics of just a 2" level (not the full 2.5") and a Zone or RC body lift? This is the setup I have on my 2011 and I'd like to use the same combo on the 2016 when I buy it. I think it looks perfect.

currently running the rc 2' level on my 14 sierra. Couple questions:

 

1.) I read body lifts can actually cause damage to frame over time? is this accurate?

 

2.) in the case of a side impact is a 1.5 BL really that dangerous as per some articles ive read they say it is "dangerous"

 

3.) where are you guys getting your zone 1.5 lifts from? please paste link. I went to zonelifts.com or something like that but was a little weary because in the description they had spelling errors...

 

finally how much is general labor for a BL install.

finally how much is general labor for a BL install.

1) Think about it...the frame is the strongest point of the truck. It's the foundation of the whole system. For the most point, the body is only touching the frame at the same points where you are going to install some taller plastic blocks. I would need some sort of scientific or mechanical engineer to explain the "why" of frame damage. Sounds like someone would rather sell you a suspension system..

 

2) Again, what is the explanation of the side impact damage. Maybe the cab/bed being up off the frame 1.5" makes it more susceptible to shear of the body mount bolts? Thousands of body lifts out there...I don't see where this is a problem. A lifted truck in general is "less safe" than the truck in it's original configuration, for many reasons.

 

3) Google

 

4) If you do it yourself, about 8 hours. Locally, they want $800 to install it.

Thanks! ^^^ I've done some reading and research. Have come to conflicting conclusions...

 

 

Does the 1.5 zone lift require any cutting of frame or anything like that? Not going to cut up a 45k truck for a 1.5 lift

You have to cut the front frame horns for the new bumper brackets, but not so much that you couldn't reinstall the old bumper brackets if you ever decided to remove the BL.

3" Supreme Suspension leveling kit in front and 1" MotoFab rear block. Still leaves an unnoticeable rake which is nice. I will be adding 33's in the Durtrac this fall, excited to get those on. I would however like to wrap my front clip as well as my door handles and mirror caps to match the silver ice metallic. Anyone know what that would run a guy?

They are in storage. I kept them just in case I didn't like how the new wheels looked. I'm used to how popped out the -44's are

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

      Android auto could not connect

      By Ralph Reale · Posted

      I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      LOL, its thrown a few people because this item is being talked about in the gas part of the HD forum. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a very brief wording in your profile with the year/GM or Chev/2500 or 3500/ and yes the 6.6 Duramax. When I joined this forum I could see the confusion ensuing for my own truck unless I had it listed with my chosen name handle unless one has a few vehicles that apply to a GM forum as that becomes confusing as well. Anyway its all good, makes for a little forum excitement 😉
