So you changed the level kit to a 1.5" rather than 2.25" and it solved the rubbing on the UCA problem? Is your kit a top strut or bottom strut spacer?

would you mind posting some more pictures of your truck? it looks great and seems to be pretty close to level

Im not sure about that yet. I am going to be calling on monday and asking them that exact question. If so its probably worth a little investment to just replace the UCA and be done with it and no other mods liker steering stops etc.

It is the ready lift 2.25" leveling kit. Looking at their website now they sell the kit for 2016.5-2018 with new control arms to replace the stamped steel ones. Guess mine was installed before they had these available

Thanks for the info. So where I am is I already have the level kit on, went back to the shop that recommended the leveling kit after i told them what I wanted to do and their solution was to put steering stops on. He said at most 3/16 of an inch stop and no rubbing. I know this is somewhat of a bandaid and i will loose some turning radius but has anyone done this and know how much? They acted like it was no big deal and most lift kits did this as well. I don't have the funds to go a full on lift kit so looking for a solution to the situation as it is currently. Thanks so much

Have read a good bit of this thread but its massive. Seeing if i can get some advice. Have a 2017 Sierra SLT with a 2.25" level kit in the front only. Am looking at getting BFG KO2s put on next week. Keep goin back and forth between 275/60/20 and 275/65/20. I keep reading different tires will fit and won't fit. Also the stamped upper control arm issue. The shop that put the leveling kit said they will just put a steering top on when i get the tires. Is that a decent fix or solution to the rubbing issue? What size tires would y'all that have done it recommend? From what i can gather the 17s won't clear as big a tire as the 14 and 15s. Also any advice between ko2 and toyo at2? Any help would be great
