I bought the Zone 3" Adventure Series lift for my 2020 2500HD Custom.  Took it to a friends shop yesterday for install.  The new upper control arms contact the factory tires.  The Zone website says...

"Stock wheels with stock tires can be installed, however clearance are very tight to the upper control arms."

Sorry, meant tires, not wheels. they contact the inner sidewall.  I had the shop grind a little to create clearance.  No way it would have worked otherwise.  Now I need to buy wheels anyways because the bigger tires won't fit.  Haha, always something.

I had this problem with my 37x12.50's when I did my Cognito lift and control arms. I bought 1" Venom hubcentric wheel spacers and now, problem solved. Not to mention the stance of the wheels and tires now look way better! 

 

But keep in mind, If you add the spacer, you're just gonna move the problem area from it rubbing on the control arms to now rubbing the liners and mud flaps, but with some minor trimming, I now clear everything.

I don't want to run spacers so I just ordered new wheels instead.  I'm not worried about clearancing the fender liners and bumper, I'll handle it.

 

The point of this post was to warn others that may want to run this kit with stock wheels and tires.

Which was the reason I posted that I ran a spacer to fix the rubbing on the control arms. I wanted to keep my stock wheels just like others may want to do, so thats an easy fix to the control arm problem. I definitely wouldn't advise someone to start grinding on a brand new set of $500 dollar UCA's

Running adapter/spacers is much more ridiculous than grinding 1/4" of metal off the corner of the arm above the ball joint on a not structural part.  The point was that they may not fit with stock wheels so people that wanted to keep stock wheels should probably not purchase this kit as there is a chance they won't fit.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
