Truxx Leveling Kit

mikeypandboo · February 2, 2011

Hi guys new here so not sure if this has been asked or not so please bear with me if it has

I am currious if anyone has used that truxx leveling kit and how much angle is on the lower control arm when the

truck is level ? is it enough where it will a. eat up ball joints and b. wear the tires off on the inside leaving the

outer edge untouched .

Looking at all the angles as from what I have read once you put the 4" lifts in the truck can no longer go back to stock ? I want to avoid this if i can

I now have 285/75/16's on the truck and they do not rub at all, has anyone who has used the truxx kit been able to put a 305/65/18 or similar on without issues ? the truck is not currently lifted at all ,according to the tire specs there is a 1" of overall od size with the width being a 1" as well .

I know I have rambles here a bit but any answers you can gie would help me alot

thanks guys

sorry the truck is a 99' sierra 1500 x-cab (new design)

I thinkg the Truxx kit has a 2" front spacer which shouldnt hurt the front drivetrain. Don't know if you can run the 305/65/18 but think it will rub.

Thanks for the reply, I realized after i hit post I forgot the year of the truck,

By the way nice truck you got there ,did you use the leveling kit they offer for that truck ?

Thanks. I've got the 2" rough country front level kit with the 3" rear ready lift blocks. So I have about 1" less rake than stock but overall the truck sits up. I tow and perfectly level unloaded is not good for towing. I also like some rake. I just wanted a little higher stance with out having to cut and or weld metal.
