Contact Zone (Sport Truck USA) and get the part numbers for the Zone (or Fox) shocks.  FYI, I have a new set of Zone rear shocks in my garage that came with my 6.5" kit.  I didn't need them because I went with Fox 2.0.  If you want them, I'll make you a sweetheart deal.  Let me know.

I can’t tell you what you’ve got, you’re asking me to guess? Go measure your rear block and take pictures of your rear leaf springs and send that to me

Why are you still asking?  Have you called Sport Truck USA like I suggested?  They can give you several options for shocks.  Or, I am happy to send you the Zone shocks that came with mine.

Because clearly I still need help lol.

I dont want the same junky shocks that are on It. Sport truck gave me parts numbers for zone shocks,BDS shocks and fox.

The "bds fox" shocks dont seem to have good reviews..

 

I called 4 wheel parts about bilstein 5100s. They said i need to give them compressed length, extended length and find out what size hardware it takes.. which is fine but isnt compressing these going to be hard?

They are not "Fox" branded shocks.....they are Zone.  They are both part of the same company.  They are the standard Zone nitro shocks that come with the 6.5" lift kits.  I upgraded to Fox 2.0 so I don't need these.  It looks like they sell on average for about $50 each.  Where are you located?  How does $80 shipped sound?

The "BDS Fox" shock is a Fox shock with a BDS sticker on it.  Fox makes great products.

Appreciate the offer. I found some bilstein 5100s for 70 a pop I went with.

Good job! Do post picks as soon as they’re on and enjoy. Remember, Bilstein gives life time warranty [emoji1303]

Ok.  Bilsteins are good too.  They make a ka-jillion part numbers with different specs so just make sure they are correct for a 6.5" lift.

Txgreek above found the part numbers. Then showed me he was at 4wheel parts.

The 4 wheel parts by me told me that bilstein doesnt make ones for my lift and theyd be custom

If you just want some run of the mill oem type replacement shocks then these will work fine in the rear for your lift size. 

https://www.roughcountry.com/premium-n3-shock-absorber-20158b.html?find=2017-chevy-silverado-1500-4wd-374174

 

just about anything in stock size will work for the front since you’re gonna keep the spacer. 

 

I tried the Bilstein route with my lift and I had to get 5165s. They ended up not fitting. The length was fine but the shock eyelets in the bushings and sleeves were the wrong size and my oem hardware wouldn’t fit through them. Bilstein didn’t have a bushing with the right diameter hole that fit that shock so I returned them and went a different route.

      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?

      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?
