You may need different rims/tires or some trimming.  There are 4 sizes listed on the Fabtech site for this lift.  Although it's not marked, the Trailboss is the one that fits the 35x12.5, the 295 width tire is for the AT4.  The wheel wells are smaller as I mentioned earlier.  The Fabtech kit also has a 5" backspacing which your 22x10 doesnt have.  The Rough Country kit accepts your rims offset but not this kit.

Ya I saw that when I was buying the kit. I called Fabtech they told me there would be minimal trimming with that setup. I guess trimming is the only way now.

Seems like it.  You could try to contact Fabtech and see if you can return the kit but I doubt you'll have any luck on that route.

I love the look/offset and tire wheel combo! So really no looking to return anything. Just need it to fit. I thought my biggest issues was clearing the brake caliper LOL

 

Anyone have any experience with Norcal Modding a new sierra??

Is it rubbing on the metal or on the carpeted fender wall?

I've got a new 19 Trail Boss and wanna grab that Fabtech lift as well. I'm just hesitant because I really like my stock wheels. On the site it says I've got to swap them out. I've never used spacers on a vehicle so I'm not sure if that would fix the issue.

You can keep them with the BDS kit.

 

Edit: sorry, I forgot to mention you’d remove the trail boss GM 2” kit. Once that’s done the 6” can be installed.

Huge difference for sure. I'm gonna do a little more research on the spacers. The black wheels on my new truck are one of my favorite things about it. I just think our tires are a little small from the factory and I'd like them to be a little wider. My last 2015 Silverado had a zone lift and I had zero problems with it. I'm sure we'll see a lot more coming to the aftermarket soon.

Truck looks great. I’m gonna be squeezing some 37’s on my 2016 w Pro Comp 6” lift soon. Hope it’s as easy as just trimming the stuff you did.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

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

      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-

      OCI, not when but why?

      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.
