Thank you I really appreciate it!

My 2018 Sierra has a 2.5 inch level and I’m running 315/70/r17 (metric size of 35/12.5) with very and I mean very little rub on the felt liner on the back side of the wheel well.

After months of posting and asking for suggestions my build has almost come to an end: here is my 2018 GMC Sierra All Terrain Specs: Fox 2.0 coilover adjusted half an inch, 2 inch spacer on top Toyo RT 315/70/r17 Method nv305 wheels

Now on your first attempt was it rubbing on the liner or what exactly? I’m looking to push it on mine lol as close to 35’s as I can ? I hear you. Fortunately for me I live in the high heat desert and have never seen snow fall. You should look into Goodyear ultra terrain AT’s. I’ve seen a guy on YouTube who swears by them.

Beautiful truck! Love the Centennial blue with the black Sludges. What’s your wheel and tire size?

I ended up purchasing a .5” Motofab spacer. Based on what you said since it comes with 2” from the factory adding that .5” spacer should make the truck completely level. I didn’t want to mess anymore with the coilovers because I want a plush ride. Whole reason why I didn’t just to a 2.5” spacer in the beginning. Thank you for the info. Any pics of your truck?

Okay that’s one of my questions answered. Thank you. My other one, do you know IF you had a spring compressor, how much more could you crank up the coilover? Like how much overall height is achievable.

Did they come preset 2” to level from the factory?

Is yours the same as mine? 985-02-018 is my model number. My coworker also has coilovers but his are a little different than mine. His truck is a 2016 mine is a 2018.

Hey guys, so I purchased Fox 2.0 Coilovers for my 2018 GMC Sierra 1500. I wanted to get some recommendations. Now before I ask, I have to clarify my truck is a 2018 I know some may people comment because of 2014-2016 trucks but as far as I know there’s a slight difference between 2014-2016 and 2017-2018 1500’s. My whole goal is to get a perfectly level truck. No rake, no squat. Perfect level. I called Fox but they weren’t that helpful. The gentleman stated the Coilovers are pre set to give a 2” level out of the box. However in forums I’ve read the Coilovers come the same setting as a stock Rancho strut but are adjustable to gain you 2”. Now I’d like to know if that’s the case if they are stock size would it be best to crank it up to get the 2” level or would it be best to keep it at the stock setting and then add a small spacer on top of the Coilover. Not trying to go over 2.5”. I don’t want to replace my UCA’s anytime soon. Thanks guys! I can’t wait to add these bad boys!

Some pics of yours would be great! How is his leveled? Thanks for the info!

I didn’t mean on spending anything at all. I do want to buy new shocks to replace the Rancho’s. But, that’s what I didn’t know. Because I was watching a video on YouTube of a guy who put Fox 2.0’s all around the truck and removed the rear blocks so the truck could be leveled completely. So I thought I’d have to set the 5100’s at the highest setting and remove the rear block in order to accomplish that too. But if I can keep the rear blocks in and adjust the 5100’s then I’ll just do that. To repeat, I just thought I needed to remove the rear blocks. I didn’t mean not buy anything at all. I just didn’t want to buy the shocks and then something else after. Because no matter what I will buy the shocks to replace the Rancho’s. If the concern about towing Is that the rear will squat it’s not a huge deal as in the future I will be putting in some rear air bags. Yeah, I have a Motofab 2.5 sitting in my garage. That was what started this thread for me. I didn’t know if I should install it or go with my second idea instead. is your truck leveled/lifted now? I am short myself lol, 5’7 ?. I’m looking for the best ride quality with a level look.

The thing is I didn’t want to buy any additional accessories besides the shocks if I didn’t have to.

What if I keep the 5100’s at stock level?

So I recently purchased a 2018 Sierra SLT All Terrain. I want to level the truck completely. I’ve asked around the forums and read different threads but I haven’t gotten the answer I wanted. I don’t really care for height. My end goal is to have the truck leveled, be able to tow, and be able to fit 33 inch or 34 inch tires and some 18 inch methods. My first idea was to put a 2.5 inch Motofab spacer on the front, but I was concerned about ride quality as well as messing with the control arms. Now for second idea, I want to add the Bilstein 5100’s and set them at their highest setting and then completely removing the stock rear blocks. That way the truck is leveled completely, but my concern has been what happens when you remove the rear blocks? Will I be okay? I haven’t really seen anyone remove the blocks only people adding taller ones. This is my preferred method, I’d like to hear thoughts and opinions from the community. I’m not planning on rock crawling just light to moderate off roading. And when it comes to towing I’m thinking of a small toy hauler or a 14 foot trailer with a side-by-side. Thank you and happy new year! ?
