The shop that did the install tells me that some heavy trimming would have to be done to fit them, so I just kept my 35s.

Is that lift adjustable? Can you do a 2 inch lift with it? One thing I hate with Chevy is trying to find a balance with the clearance above the tires vs sides. I like the gap to be more proportionate.

These narrow wheel wells are a shitty design. I trimmed mine to get 295s in there. The back of the wheel well is harder to trim. Once you get past the black plastic trim and liner, there is a body to frame support bracket bolted in that is stout. It could be refabbed to get some clearance, but it would be an effort. I like the way mine turned out, but a 2 inch lift would be a little better. Since it comes with 2 inch lift, that would make it 4.

 

[Trubyd44]

No, it's a 4in lift, so 6 total with factory 2in lift. My 35x12.5s fit under it without any major trimming at all at 4in.

6 looks too high to me...I would go for an additional 2 at most.

Yeah, everyone has their personal preference of course, but I think with 35s, 6 is good to go. It's ni e to pull up to a 1/2 ton and thrm not have any height on you.

With a 5' tall wife, my 2" lift is pushing her limits

Oh wow!!!! Let's see a picture of her stepping up into it!

It's all about propotions. This truck already looks a little small lenghtwise due to short bed and extra length in the cab. With the extra space in wheel well above the tire, it just looks a little off. That's why I think 2 inches of lift would be a happy medium.

I've seen plenty of Trail Boss 1/2 ton trucks with 6 inch lifts and they look good with 35s, but they don't seem to have odd proportions.

Looks good. Do you have a part # or did you have to call them? Couldn’t find it on their site.

BDS-1829H, call them before the summer sale is up, it’s around $1800.00+ after the 20% discount for summer2023. They will do the discount if you mention it, it’s a 3+ week wait time due to supply and demand.

Looks good…does the BDS kit widen the front track width? I think my old BDS my front tires stuck out further then the rear

 

[AXE]

Lots of lifts do widen the front track width. That's why I like Cognito for Chevy they keep them the same.

I like it! Did you get the tail tights filmed? Also, what rims?

 

[Trubyd44]

They are Recon tailights and the only ones that look better than stock LEDs in my opinion. They are OEM quality and have direct wiring. They come in a few colors, I got the smoked red version.

The wheels are Vossen HF6-4 wheels.
