plunk77 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 saw on facebook Rough Country has released its leveling kit and 2.5" lift for the 2014. they look exactly the same as for the previous generation. But, they have a video that shows a new silverado with a 2.5" on it. although its a little low for me, it looks amazing http://www.roughcountry.com/suspension/4wd-chevy/1500-leveling-lift-kit_1303.php 3
Prdtrgttr Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I like it! Is that basically the same lift/levelling kit as Traxda's(formerly Truxxx), and if yes, why is the RC lift levelling kit half the price? 1
badfnz Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 So is it a 2.5" lift in the front and a 2" lift in the back, thus making it level? The website is confusing. 1
2018GMC Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) So is it a 2.5" lift in the front and a 2" lift in the back, thus making it level? The website is confusing.2.5 in front Remove 1" stock lift block from rear and replace with 2" Personally I would just want to level the front. Sounds like the front need 1.5" of lift to level if you are leaving the rear stock. I wonder what tire would fit then? Probably not the size they list with their lift kit Edited June 13, 2013 by 2009 GMC 1
Stex Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 If you just want to level the truck, no high lift, like I did, the Bilstein 5100s are the way to go. You retain complete shock and suspension travel as compared to other methods. Plus the great Bilstein ride. See the pdf from the bilstein site for a load of info on the other methods and their short comings. No damage to your suspension. Just saying... http://www.bilsteinus.com/fileadmin/user_upload/user_upload_us/pdfs/Bil_LevShks_WebArticle.pdf http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/truck-off-road/5100-series-ride-height-adjustable/ The first day on my 09 I put the Michelins on and then true and high speed balance on the truck. Them I added the Bilstein 5100s around which leveled the truck. Really made the ride and everyone that rides in my 09, CC, 4wdr z71 says the ride is the best they have seen in a truck (and they drive ford, GM and toy trks). With the stiffer frame and heavier anti roll bars the new trks should really take to the setup. 2
scz71864 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 ^ i did the level shocks from bilstein, but they claim it retains all factory features, but you are still compressing the spring.... 2
2018GMC Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Stock tire 265 65 R18 = 31.6 With RC lift kit 285 70 R17 = 32.7"
AgDoctor Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I'm anxious to see one in general but definitely with a lift. Just hoping RC has got the angles right so this doesn't eat the hell out of ball joints. Maybe GM put better ball joints in these(doubtful). Looks really good though.

J-man67 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 The RC truck in the video looked NIIIICE! I love the longer bed with the CC. I think next time I will just do a level and 33s and this video has me wanting it NOW! 2

LongrangeLauber Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I don't think 37's wrapped around 20's looks bad. That's what I plan on getting 1
