2014+ Leveling Kits

[SuperSierra]

Out of all the pics i've seen, I think this look is my favorite. One of the other poster said it give it a beefy look. I'm sorry for the ignorance but if I wanted a similar look but not that big of tires, what would be the next best option. I'd like 20 inch rims on it but I just dont know too much about tire sizes and offset. I dont want any rubbing nor trimming.

Offset is the measurement from the the back where the bolt pater is to the back of the rim.
Negative offset sticks out, plus is closer to the frame.


When it comes to size of tires 33/12.50 r anything will all be 33 tall 12.50 wide but 305/55r20 is bigger than 305/55r17

Hey this is my 2014 Sierra with a 2.5" leveling kit with the rear blocks. Was super easy did it in the garage. Just had my new 33x12.5R20s Haida Mud Champs installed and had the balancing beads thrown in. No running or trimming I also put my gatorback mud flaps back on as well with no rubbing. 

That's what I call a nice looking truck!  I'm looking to do something similar to my Denali.  Did you need to add wheel spacers to the set up or aftermarket upper control arms?

Thanks guy! She's stock. No spacers or aftermarket control arms. Has a a flush stance or just tucked. I don't know if it makes a difference at all but I have the Alumnium control arms.

well then,  33x12.50R20's may be just what I'll do when the time comes for mine.

Ya with the 2.5" Rough Country it rides good. Little stiff but it's nothing extreme. I like the Haida Mud Champs So far too! Not to loud but still have a good look. $990 + Tax for 4 couldn't beat that

The rough country 2 in level goes between lower control arm and strut. Is it alright for durability etc?

It's a composite material. Seems pretty durable. Time will tell. I've only had mine a very short while. I'm sure someone on this forum can comment long term.

i did had the rc leveling kit on my 2010... had it on since 2011 and never had any problem with it... sold it a month ago

I believe I'll be ordering 20x9 Fuel Mavericks tomorrow along with 275/65/20 tires. Wanted a skinny tire around 33.8"-34.2" tall and that seems to fit the bill perfectly. Currently running a 2" BDS level on a 2015 Crew Cab 4WD.

Prepared to to trim
The valance and/or fender liners but do not want to have to cut/hammer metal.

Based on my tire choice and 20x9; which offset do you guys recommend? I have the choice between +1, +14 or +20....

How much rubbing do you have with the 295 width? Are your wheels a 0 offset?

not exactly sure on the offset but i have no rubbing issue and no trimming

Is this different than a basic 2” level? What’s the rear block part?

I have the 2" level and put 275/65/20 on with no rub issues whatsoever. I had to zip tie the rear of the front liners but that's no big deal. You will run into problems when you start trying to go wider with the Factory 20s.

55 (stock) compared to 65’s can’t be much a difference with the same 275 height right?! How about some 285/65’s on the stock 20’s and a level?

275 is width

Ok. So 285 is slightly wider than the 275?

I’m wondering what’ll be more cost effective. A 285/60/20 or (as shop recommended) a 275/60/20. Maybe they said 65...?!
