So I have a 2016 All Terrain with the 20" AT rims. Looking at going with the Zone 4.5" lift, and 35's, question is, is that all you guys needed? I read somewhere that someone needed 1.5" spacers on the back but I want to avoid that. So my question is would I be fine with just buying the lift and tires? And be able to pull it off, no trimming or rubbing? How do you guys like the ride or setup?

Your trimming would be minor and without the spacers in the rear your front tires will stock out 1.75” further in the front which is very noticeable

I vote 4.5 inch. I have the 4.5 in my truck and love it. Lots high. I am running 35x12.5x20s with no rubbing or trimming. Here is a few pics to give you an idea.

No rub or scrubbing. I have stamped steel UCAs. Front is a little lower than the rear with rear blocks, but I prefer that for towing(1"). I have had the lift for several years and like it. I only have 14,000 miles on the truck and only drive it on weekends. I like it.

With 20's(stock)nothing wider than an 11.50 will fit and not contact the UCA. With 22's(stock) you can run a 12.50 easy. Offset wheels will allow space for the UCA but then the bumper and fender come into play.

This might be a dumb request but, can someone who’s running the Zone 4.5” lift on 20’s & 34” tires, measure the total height of the truck from the ground up including the XM Antenna? 
Need to find out the max height to see if I’m gonna fit in the parking garage at work 😂

Mine looks to be about 80” to the top of the Onstar shark fin.

I currently have it leveled at the front by 2". Is it safe to safe that i can take a measurement with the 2" lift and just Add 2.5" on top of that to get the equal height of what the Zone will be?

I would assume that's close. Mine was a true 4.5" lift plus the added tire height, you should be able to add 2.5-3.0" and be safe.

I hesitantly went to the dealer and set an appointment.  They are booked a couple weeks out.  I almost left it there.  I checked my mobile app and it had a issue that a device might be causing an issue with my truck's diagnosis.  I had seen this for a few weeks, but just assumed it was a non-issue.  I have a range AFM disabler that has not given me issues.  I started using it around 30k.  I just hit 50k the day before I started having the issue.  

I looked online and there may be an update for it.  They have a posted article for this:  https://www.rangetechnology.com/blog/post/check_engine_lights/

 

I have it disconnected and so far all good.  We shall see... I am at 50k and a week from owning 2 years... Yes, I am putting a lot of miles on it

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
