Your truck is awesome!

 

I just had the 4” Fabtech installed on my Sierra Denali yesterday.  I am running 285/55r22 Terra’s on stock oem 22s with a 1.25” spacer.   I have rubbing inside the fender well closest to the cab.  

 

I was told by the shop that the wheel spacers were not needed for clearance so I’m going to have one removed to see if that alleviates the rubbing issue.  

 

Did you do any trimming or alterations to the back of the fender well?

Wow! Love this setup!  Just purchased a Denali truck and this stance is exactly what I’m looking for. 

How is the ride with the Fabtech 4” compared to stock?  And did you relocate the sensors?

 

Thanks in advance!

It rides very close to stock. Yes the kit from Fabtech is made for the Magneride so the sensors are relocated.

The 285/55/22 tire looks awesome!  Now I'm researching what it takes to get them added to my truck.  After a lot of reading, I may end up going with Bilstein 5100s and a small spacer instead of a 2.5" leveling kit (had decided on motofab).  Anyone know what spacer is best for use with the Bilstein 5100 in order to get around 2.5" lift/level to fit the 285/55/22 tires?

Looks sweet. I assume you have some rubbing.. if so, where? Are you hitting upper control arm or sway bar? Or just the fender liner?

I did some plastic trimming and have minor rubbing on sway bar at full lock.

What are people’s measurements with these on? Runnin a 2.5” level with 1.25” body lift on stock 284/45/22s and am getting semi close to my garage. Wanna see if I’ll be able to fit in it or not with the increased height

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
