Thanks for the info. So far all have looked at procomp and rough country as they have a kit that works with the magnetic ride. I will check to see what zone has to offer as with bds I believe they only offer a 6 inch lift for magnetic ride and may be a little higher than I want to go. Procomp says no on stock rims and rc says i need spacers. I have read rc are junk but dont have experience with them.

The RC kits from what i gather give you really bad angles for your front axels causing premature ware on parts that otherwise last a reallllyyy long time. People also say that instalation is a pain but i doubt many installed their own lifts to even notice. I would stay away just because of the piece of mind that BDS and Zone offer, they backup the kits with powertrain warranties for your truck and that to me says a lot of how good they think their kits are.

 

Pro comp, Fabtech, zone are some good mid range kits to look at.

 

BDS seems to be the high end kits

Fabtech makes a kit that is priced similar to rc. Procomp is up there in price with bds. Have to see what kit is better suited. Do you happen to know what the baskspacing is on the stock 20s?

Not too sure what the BS on the stockers is.

 

Here are some pics of the drivers side at full lock in both directions.

Thanks for the pics. No rub on the sway bar or anything either. Looks like any rub would be when the suspension is compressed in a turn but looks like its not that bad.

This is why i did a LOT of research on here reading the lift sticky to see what will actually fit. I PMd a LOT of people asking for pics and asked for specs and asked a LOT of questions.

 

I got EXACTLY what i wanted and am so happy with the lift that i would do this exact setup all over again.

I appreciate all the info you have provided me with. Very useful for me to make my decision. Was considering setteling on a leveling kit but now going to eventually get the lift here in the near future.

Any rubbing with that set up? I wanna run 35's on a 2" level but fear they would run way too much.

The tire shop zip tied the carpet fender liner back when they installed the tires. There was still a minor rub on the carpet liner at full lock for a little while, but nothing bad at all. No rub on any metal or anything like that.

Well for all who wants to know 35x12.5R18 will fit on a 2.5 lift and stock wheels with little to no rubbing

Hi, my name is Jess. i am looking to install the bds 4 inch lift and keep my stock 20x9 wheels. what tires did you go with? and what is the mpg mileage? and did you have to re-gear?  I have a 2018 gmc SLT 4X4 WITH 5.3 engin, 8 speed a/t

I lowered my BDS 6inch Fox coilovers down to 4.5" of lift in front and left the rear BDS leaf springs with factory block to keep a 2" rake.  I also fit 35x12.5 Toyo RT on stock 20" rims no rubbing.msg-130528-0-09109500-1506472962_thumb.jpegpost-130528-0-20933700-1499777915_thumb.jpg

I like the stock wheels with 35's.  Here's mine (4.5" BDS, 35X11.5 Ridge Grapplers):

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
