It boggles my mind that someone would come to a thread and leave their negative opinion on the subject.   If you don't like lifts,  don't come to a lift thread and spout off about it.  Then on top of

This is from their instruction manual 12D469D4-D567-4C2A-92DC-8FFD2E1129B5.thumb.png.62a09f455212bc97a05ca844d3174570.png

 

Good find but I just spoke to BDS and they cannot confirm whether a 17 inch wheel will fit. He said they may have only had a 20 inch wheel to test but that they could let me know later on. CST said there are new lifts being released in 4-6 weeks but couldn't say whether it would be a 4.5", a 6" or both so that will be another good option.

I have the BDS on order and it will be installed next week. Disappointed the coil overs aren’t available from Fox yet but oh well.

I’ll let y’all know what it’s like on these wonderful Louisiana roads as soon as it’s installed.

I did talk with BDS and the stock 20’s will work with a 35x12.50. I plan to run 295/65r20 trail grapplers.

6 inch fab tech, 20 inch fuel rims, 35 nitto rode like factory till I put a load lifter 5000 on it.  Now it rides like crap.  Going to tinker with air pressures and see if I can find a sweet spot.

Search around because I believe your issue is directly related to the bags you chose. I remember seeing comments like yours with specific models when I was searching for a set for my truck.

Did you find a set that rode well?

Unfortunately, I did not end up purchasing any options because I was on the fence about keeping the truck but I did decide on the Hellwig Helper Springs. I just wanted it there for when I needed it and it seemed like the best option. A few folks here had them so I would recommend searching it up and reaching out to them if you can't resolve your ride quality. Also, try contacting Air Lift and see what they say.

I don't think 17's will fit.   The steering arm fills up most of the 20" wheel

Fuel wheels are 10” wide... 4” on the inside and 6” on the outside.

How do you like your zone lift?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
