Yes, he does

No I don’t. The factory suspension is removed and a 6” suspension lift including coilover is installed.

No. The at4 has a 2” lift already, that is removed, then a 6” suspension lift is installed. Netting 4” of lift over the at4

Anyone else have these Fox 2.5’s installed on their truck yet? I’m installing my kit this weekend. I ordered a 35x12.5x17 tire with a 0 offset method wheel with a 4.75 back spacing. I’m hoping this 3.5” kit will clear without too much rubbing.

I have a 2020 AT4 Carbon Pro - I did the 2.5" lift (so 4.5" overall) with fox 2.5 coilovers  - I have Method 18 x 9" NV's with 18mm offset - they did not clear the tie rod, so we had to go with spacer and wheel lug extender to gain about 1.25" of backspacing, so clear the tie rod.  The method -12mm would be the recommended fit.   With 20" the tie rod will go inside the wheel radius, making that more flexible for offsets.

 

With 17" you will have the same issue I had, but not as bad due to 0 mm offset - might barely fit, but if not with a 1/2" spacer you should be good to go on the tie rod issue.  But you will need to do some trimming to fit the 35's.  Pinch point will be the front fender where it tapers in - you only have 2" - going with 35" over stock 33's should eat all that up.  I will be very interested to see how yours turns out, as I am looking to get new wheels and larger tires - so if you fit 35's will be interesting to see what all is invovled.   I still have stock 275/65/18 duratracs on mine. 

 

Here are some photos showing clearance - FYI - no issue on inside clearance on steering knuckle for tire - 4" of inboard room at least - so 12.5" section width will be no problem over stock 11".

Awesome truck! Thank you for the response. All these makes me nervous haha. I hate that you get different answers when you talk to different companies or people. Dirt King, Fox and Camburg All said I’ll be fine. Method recommended 0 offset with a 4.75 back spacing to fit the 35x12.50x17 on my Silverado. With that said the wheel wells are different from the Silverado to Sierra. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth install.

How much smoother is the ride with these new shocks compared to the stock ones?

Tough question to answer - the OEM mono tube Rancho's actually ride pretty good on the street.  They are way too soft for off road blowing through the stroke very quickly and bottoming out.  But overall I found the OEM ride quality to be very good on the street.

 

The Fox/BDS set up is more flexible with DSC adjustments on front shocks for compression and rebound - at full soft or a few clicks odd the ride is excellent, however it is "firmer" than stock.  I would consider it comfortable, but if you don't like a firm ride, you would think the stock truck was smoother on the street.  Off road, no comparison with the better shocks and lots of adjustments you can really dial in the shocks and enjoy the truck.

 

If you like the stock ride - you may think this is too firm - if you don't like the soft stock ride, then this offers the best of all worlds with total dial in flexibility - on the street I run 2 clicks from full soft on compression and rebound right now.  Will try softer after some more miles on the shocks and springs for full break in.  

 

Overall it meets my needs and expectations and I am glad I did it.  I like this set up much better than the Ready Lift SST kit, with stock shocks I had on my 2019.  It is not for everybody, but if you are familiar with adj. off road shocks you will be pleased.

Thanks for the detail! Any reason you went with Fox over King?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My take: I don't think seeing up to 200k on the odometer of any of these engines/trucks (2014-to present) is surprising. (Excluding the known DEFECTS, specifically, the 6.2 main/connecting rod bearing issues, the defective lifters, alternatively parts that a recall was issued for - I think there were three.)   250K is my line in the sand, anything over that is 'surprising', but not limited to the engine making it that far but including the truck surrounding it too. (We've talked about this in other posts, why I think the engine isn't the deciding factor for ultimate mileage.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
