I am also interested in this. Did you have any luck finding pictures?

Nice truck! Thanks. Just got my 275/65r18 (of course wish I went bigger but still looks nice). Gonna try to get the bilsteins installed this week and then see how it looks with the trailer attached. If it says too much I’ll get a “add-a-leaf spring” or a 2.25 block for the back.

I got the 5100's for all four corners from fourwheelparts.com for $335 with free shipping. As far as installation I am not sure, I am doing it myself when they come. That is something I am sure you can find out by calling a local shop that does suspension and explaining what you want to do.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I just ordered tires (nitto Terra grapplers) just one size larger (275/65r18). Also ordered the bilsteins yesterday so hopefully by next weekend I’ll have those on along with the new tires and I will remove the air damn. I’ll have to had a new block in the back, I seen a 2” block from rough country, would that work? Or do you have any suggested brand to check out? How’s the ride quality with this set up?

Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I was looking for. Do you have any pics you can send? I also feel the same way with the stock ranchos and front being so low. I plan on removing the air dam as well. what brand did you use for the rear 2.25" leaf block? Stupid question but what size is the stock block? 1.25"?

Ok thanks for clearing that up. What what you recommend i set the front to in order to lift the truck but still leave a little rake when towing so the nose isnt sticking up too high?

On the product description it said the rear can be raised up to 1". Is that not true?

I have a 2014 Sierra 1500. I am due for new tires so I am going to go a size bigger and keep the stock rims (265/65r18 to 275/65/r18). Before I do this, I plan on changing out all of the shocks and installing the bilstein 5100's. I figured this was the best option for ride quality, while still being able to add a little extra height to the truck without putting too much stress on any other parts. My question is, has anyone set the front shocks to the height setting (is there any downside to this?) and then the rear to the highest setting (1"). If so, can does this still create enough rake to give the truck a leveled look when pulling a trailer? I dont like the nose high look. Looking for any recommendations on what i should set the shocks to in order to achieve more height on the truck, but be able to tow without the nose being higher than the back. Include pictures if you have them! I am also assuming i should get an alignment after installing the shocks and new tires right? Thanks, Ted

Thanks, What size tires do you have? Any pics by chance?

I mostly tow in the summer and only a couple times a year. The boat is probably around 3,000 lbs. Other than that, the only tow i would do in the future is an enclosed trailer with a four wheeler but i would guess that is lighter than the boat but the terrain would be various times throughout the year. When you made that slight tire change, did you change you spare too? That is something i was thinking about doing as well but I dont want to have to buy another spare, but i also dont want to ruin anything else in the truck if i were to need to use the spare (since it will be slightly smaller than the other tires).

I am interested in doing this as well, if I put the 5,100's on the front and back along with the 2" zone leveling kit, would i be able to adjust the back shocks so the truck still has a little rake and then it will level out when i am towing a boat?

Thanks, would you be able to provide a link for the shocks you are talking about?

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 V8 5.3L. I am looking into putting a zone offroad 2" leveling kit on it but i am worried it may affect the towing performance. I dont pull a boat that often but usually a few times a year for different trips and tournaments. It is a 1997 Champion bass boat so it isn't anything crazy heavy, i just get worried with a leveling kit that the nose of the truck will look higher than the back when pulling the boat. I also feel like if that is the case, it will affect the performance and handling as well. I am no pro here so I am hoping someone can help me out! Thanks in advance. Ted

Love the truck! hope to get mine looking like that pretty soon. Did you install the Bushwacker fender flares yet? i would love to see some pics.
