ZR2 4in BDS lift kit installed! Perfect!

[Joe_Triv]

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.

Awesome! Thank you.

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

Mine is 4'11" and i was reading and thinking the same thing!!! I'm with you, i'd probably get another 2" and that be it. She already doesn't like the high clearance step I have on it. I couldn't imagine asking her to step up another 4!!!!

Got the new first Silverado ZR2 specifically designed lift kit installed from BDS. Perfect, my ride is back to normal and everything works great. Easily fits my 35x12.5 tires! View attachment 5622View attachment 5623View attachment 5624View attachment 5625View attachment 5626View attachment 5627

After a couple months how has the lift treated you? Any complaints or feedback - getting my BDS lift installed next week!

What offset did you run?

Awesome! Thank you.

Did you have to add spacers to the wheels? I'm looking at Vossen hfx-1

So I didn’t add spacers, but maybe I should. I put on -18 to -22mm offset fuel 20” wheels (can’t remember if 18 or 22) and they rub even after I trimmed a good deal off the front bumper - I’ve read it’s hard not to get 35” tires to rub…

I’m going to do a deep dive now the weather is cold here and I got a new garage heater. I’ve been dealing with the rubbing for too long, but it’s manageable and mostly just sharp parking lot driving.

Thanks for the info. I really don't want any rubbing so maybe I won't get 35s? I don't want them to do a lot of modifications. Some ok but not too much.

Honestly I might have gotten a 34ish tire instead to avoid the cutting. I might do that next tire set.

With the 34s do you think you would still need the spacers?

Prolly should add I love the BDS lift after a year of use, but I have had to retighten the front end multiple times to avoid clanking noises. The front frame drop bracket in particular and add in it’s a Chevy with normal front end problems it does keep me busy I guess…

Thank you so much for your help.

I think if your don’t have a good offset wheel a spacer couldn’t hurt. Most of my rubbing is on the plastic behind the tires and wheel well lining - confirmed my wheel is -18 offset.
