Hey All,

My truck has shipped and I am getting things in order for when it arrives.

The lift kit I decided to go with is a 4.5 inch Zone Lift with 33x12.5x20 Falkan Wildpeak AT3 tires.

The guy that installs this set up sent me a pic of a new chevy that has this set up and it looks pretty darn good.

If I can figure out how to post up a pic I will do so.

Wondering if anyone has used this lift or tires, I was informed that BDS is the parent company for Zone lifts and that they make a good quality product.

Wanted to ask if anyone has used either this lift or the tires and if so what they thought, last tires I had on my truck was some Toyo AT2s and I really liked those.

 

Thanks in advance for any info!

Lifted trucks look great - so popular here anymore there are whole truck lots dedicated to them and competing for the business. But don't understand why have the tires hanging out like that flinging stuff all over your own rig - and the rig behind you. No mud flaps - no fender flares...........

mudflaps and fender flares look like shit. When you lift your truck it pushes your wheels/tires out about 1.5" combine that with wider tires and wheels and a wider stance becomes the rule not an option.

Wildchevys very nice looking truck! I really like the height of that 4.5 inch lift not too high not too low. I am using the stock 20 inch rims and from what I understand the tires wont stick out quite as far. My truck is also coming with running boards and I did order it with the mudflaps. I like the look without them but want to try and keep paint nice as I can.

Thanks for the post

Seen plenty of lifted trucks without the wheels sticking out. Many places it's illegal for your wheels to stick out like that cause of all the rocks and debris you'll be flinging at the people behind you. Do everyone else a courtesy and get flares or something to save our windshields and front ends from the rocks you'll be throwing.

been lifted like this 10 years. With x10 -25 wheels it's how the math/science goes. Flares and flaps look like shit I'm not ruining my truck with them

There's definitely an option, you pushed out further than required.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.

      It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
