Bendpak XPR-10AS and Silverado 2500HD CCSB

[NC4AB]

I finally pulled the trigger on a Bendpak XPR-10AS that is supposed to be here next week.

Does any one have experience with lifting a Silverado 2500HD CCSB 4WD?
I am playing around with the layout in the garage and am interested in where the truck is positioned relative to the lifting posts and after searching some of the threads I am confused on setting it in a wide or narrow configuration.

Many thanks in advance.

their manual shows lift points for almost every vehicle of the past 20 years...I would go on line to see, or ask them to send it to you now.

You will need to be aware of the center and front and rear at all times, if you are adding or removing a lot of weight at one end or the other. I would suggest a pole/pole jack for those times that need a touch.

Duramax or gas?

Duramax or gas?

One of each

I have one with the Duramax, son has one with a 6.0. The lifting manual is supposed to be packed with the lift but I was wanting to get a head start and get an idea of where to position the lift so I could run the conduit and have it ready for the drop to the lift.

Just getting impatient in my old age.....

If you have the room, wide configuration hands down.

Following... just ordered my AS-LP with 2ft height extension. Same concerns about large trucks...

I started a topic about this a while back. Seems like everyone has their different approach.

Don’t know why everyone buys asmetricals for truck duty...
Ya they work but not proper tool for job if it’s heavy and long
I prefer my 12k three stage arms symmetrical. Rack crew cab trucks with for just in front of lift post so it opens. Dump trucks, wreckers and other heavy bodies go further forward then that
Hang small cars off the back like a asymetrical lift

I have the Bendpak XPR 10 CX set up in the wide config. This is how I have my 7300# 2000 F250 7.3 diesel positioned in relationship to my lift. From the center of the lift to the center of the front wheel is 66", it's 158" wheel base.
I don't know if this helps you or not but I've been fooling around with this for about 4 years and this location seems to give good balance.

Are you stating that the claim of being useable as both asymmetric and symmetrical is B'S? They discussed with me that it would work for both applications

i dont like lift chevolet trucks because of the way the rear frame is

I think you’ll be fine. I’ve lifted large light duty trucks like yours with an asymmetrical lift and didn’t have any problems. In my experience, a symmetrical lift is better for that size vehicle, but if you’re doing any heavy work / muscling things around then you’ll need a post jack or two to keep the thing stable. The difference would just be how “Soon” you need the post jack - sooner with an asymmetrical than with a symmetrical. And I also vote for the wide spacing, no question.
Congrats on the purchase. Don’t over-think it or second guess yourself. Move ahead and be smart when wrenching. You’ll be fine.
