IMO a leveling kit makes a world of difference and won’t affect the ride quality. Just got mine and tires today.

Thanks for sharing but wrong truck, wrong lift, and wrong thread.

Oops didn’t realize that. My bad. I’m new to the site and find it a little difficult to maneuver.

that's why some have tapered block I bet....those blocks look so wrong when there big, I know its fine but just looks so 'wonky'.....is there leaf spring kit that will do same job as block?.....I know you can get 2 or 3 inches out of deaver spring but was wondering about 4 or 6 inches......I wont ever go that high for practical reasons was just curious

Icon dynamics stage 1( coilovers, shocks) with rough country ucas, 1.5 rear block.  The fronts adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5, they came set at 3 inch so I left it that way. It says they are preset to the proper preload heigth. Took 2 hours tops to do and drives about like stock, the rear bounced before but now it's perfect . The ride is firmer and handles like a racecar, no body roll anymore. It sits about 3/8 of an inch higher in the rear. I'll get a better pic. This is with 1/4 inch wheel spacers up front to give some room for the uca/tire. The tires are 295-60-20 fallen wildpeak at3w's. About a 34-11.50.

 

The truck behind it is an 03 2500hd 37s, straight axled, 4 link coilovers. Approx 8 inches of lift and the 19 is really tall for just a 3 inch.20191215_113452.thumb.jpg.592e354d8fa48a889f6eba0af7d14338.jpg20191215_131919.thumb.jpg.ce284d290f3772f0c3cad20b0abccf84.jpg

I’m new to this forum and to Chevy in general.  I purchased a 2019 Silverado with a 5.3l and 3.23 gear ratio.  The trucks I’m seeing, especially in this thread, look so much better with lifts and tires, especially the 6” kits and 35s.  I would really like to achieve the same look that some of these trucks have but I’m concerned about my trucks performance and long term wear/tear.  My question is...How well do your engines and trannies handle the 35” tires?  Thanks in advance for your experienced input.

1.5 Rough Country Trail Boss Level, 295/70/18 Cooper ST MAXX, no spacers, no rub, rides great. Averaging about 14mpg in mixed driving.

Dig through this thread and I think I posted the final gear ratios in the 6 spd vs the 8 spd. The new 8 speed with 3.23 is identical to the 6 speed with 3.73. I personally have 6” bds and 35’s and haven’t lost enough power to care. You’ll be fine.

Haha right!? I know what you mean.

UCA’s are not required at all, honestly for my purpose it’s purely aesthetics haha. The only off-road a little trail here and there driving up to the mountain or going camping etc, very tame!

But damn it looks good ha!

Removed all the Icon parts because I’m selling them, and the truck. Now that I’m back to the “stock” BDS kit I can really tell how much better the Icons were especially with the adjustable damping.

The CDCV valves are great for anyone considering Icon,

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      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.

      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?
