2014+ Suspension Lifts

The tires stick out about an inch from the fenders. The fronts get pushed out because of the kit and the rears stay tucked inside. I have OCD so i had to space out the rears with a 1.5" spacer to even out the look or i would have gone crazy looking at the difference.

Sticking out is all personal preference but i very much like it when the tires stick out just a little.

Agreed. I think the tires sticking out a little looks great. If I go with the RCX 5" I'll need spacers for the rear as well.

Looking to do the same. 14 Sierra SLT 2wd with stock 20 wheels. What tire size are you running and how do you like the kit? Thanks

I was running 295/60/20s and still rubbed at full lock with some trimming.The kit itself was a good kit and could complain. i did have coilovers custom built for the kit so that helped out on the ride. I just traded my truck last week lol.

If you have the 6.2L or 5.3L with max tow you actually have the 9.76" rear end and nobody makes a kit for it yet. Everything else is the 9.5" and it's the same design GM's been using for years.

Sup guys. Got a 6.5 BDS lift. I have a question about my torsion bars. I went with a non-torsion bar drop kit bc i like the clean look, but Im having an issue in the colder weather with the bars bowing and hitting where it passes through the crossmember on the driver side. Anyone experiencing anything like this?

I spoke to BDS and they are aware of the issue, and told me to torch/cut away at the opening where it passes through. I've torched the hell out of this thing to the point of there not being much left, but it's still hitting. I can definitely try to cut out more, but I was wondering if anyone had installed some sort of torsion bar drop bracket with any of these lifts?

Any suggestions?
