sweet looking truck! I just got a 2019 High Country Silverado and I am between the 2" factory and the 4" BDS. Wondering what the total heigh with your setup is since I need to fit mine into a 7 foot parking garage. Thanks!

It just barely clears a 7 foot garage. The back of the cab is slightly higher than the Mx antenna when level, (I have coilovers, not the regular spacer lift).

Any one know if the 4"  BDS Coilover kit will fit 2020 Silverado with 3.0 Duramax?

No seeing anything to indicate it does or does not but i guess I was expecting there to be a selection on the BDS website.

There is a note that 6" kit will not fit Diesel.

 

Thanks Tom

Hey boss, So I have a 2020 trail boss LT bought in January and in March I installed A Ready lift 2 inch SST lift kit with came with the front spacers and upper control arms and 3 inch blocks and at the same time I had installed 20s inch fuel blits with 20x12.5x35 Nitto Ridge grapplers ran that for 3 months the ride the ride was really rough with the 2 inch kit and the extra tire plies. So 2 weeks ago I went with the 4 inch BDS lift with BDS upper control arms, Fox DSC Remote Reservoir Coilovers in the front, Fox DSC remote reservoirs in the rear. So a total of a 6 inch lift all around. The truck rides like a dream on and off road.

I have 2019 AT4 Carbon Pro - with same RL SST kit - stayed with stock 275/65/18's - have been looking to swap out for BDS - been going back and forth 2.5" or 4" (so 4.5" or 6" overall) - shop tells me to get 4", set springs at 0 pre-load, will be great and not get full 4" lift (so 6" overall).  Feel better overall ride and more travel - I don't really want to go over 4.5" for towing.

 

I had inquired about remote res or piggy back 2.5" for rear - they did not have 6 weeks ago - what did you do for rear shock? 

 

Can you post photo of your truck now complete - so we can see the look.

wondering if 37s and oem 20's would fit with little trim...……………………..on the 19+ hmmm

It's been done.

37's on a AT4 with a BDS 4". (Picture Stolen from Facebook, not my truck)

 

The 37's look like 1 single bump your ripping off the front of your bumper. 

Like the look, but looks like very little up travel for your tire before it would have clearance issues.

    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?. 
    • He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it. 
    • I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
