Getting ready to get mine done. Just wondering if this quote is on par with what everyone paid for their wheels, tires, and lift? When I put 26" rims with 305/30/26" tires and 2" drop shackles on my '14, I paid $2500. This is a different shop though.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

It's all releative...here's how I'd break down your quote if I was making this happen

 

$750 Tuff Wheels shipped w/ lugs off eBay

$1,500 33" Toyo MTs shipped on eBay (didn't even search elsewhere so there are probably better deals)

$60 Mount/Balance - What my local shop charges

$450 3.5" RCX w/ Control Arms - Your's doesn't specify - I wouldn't pay somebody to install something I can do myself

 

$2,760 versus your $4,059.38 (including taxes)

 

you asked for opinions, my .02 for what it's worth is I'd love to be on the shop end of your deal

Would love to know what size/offset those Rockstars are and what tires... looks killer!

 

Tires are 305/55/20 copper Zeon ltz tires, with 20x10 and a - 24 offset

 

How much noise do those Cooper Zeons make on the highway?

Anyone added rancho quicklift or bilstein ride height? I have 2" rough country and when I hit bumps it feels like it bounces. I'm looking for a more secure leveling/lift kit that rides smooth while towing or off roading? Any suggestions

Hey guys, this may have been previously addressed, but does a leveling kit void the warranty at all?

 

I know the dealerships now offer lift kits and leveling kits, but if you do the install yourself will you run into problems at the dealership?

 

Thanks

No. Aftermarket parts cannot void a warranty due to the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. The only way that a dealership can legally deny you warranty service is if they can prove that the issue you are experiencing has been caused by the aftermarket part itself.

 

Also if you have a dealership that really denies you service because of a leveling kit, then you really need to find another dealership to work with. Dealership by my house sucks. They hate anything aftermarket cause they do more buick than GMC. But a dealership near where I go to school is awesome. They don't care if you come in with a truck that is completely aftermarket. They will still work on it under warranty

Thanks for the info brother.

 

Last question I've got is I had the TGC 2.5" leveling kit on my 08 Silverado and had no problems with that kit and it seemed to sit pretty level. I was thinking about going with that kit, but it seems everyone, or most of everyone is going with the RC kit w/ the taller rear block. Is there a reason RC stands out more for this truck than others or is it just personal preference? Also I had the factory block on my silverado. With a 2.5" on these new trucks is it going to have rake or squat with the factory block? I'm just confused as to why everyone is going with a taller block in the rear.

 

Thanks guys.

Personal preference and with the rough country 2.5 kit then you have the option to add the rear block but you do not have to. The truck will sit level with just the 2" spacer up front. The 2" block ( which adds 1" compared to stock) will retain some rake, which some prefer to have.

 

So in general, it's just personal preference and with how much it is talked about on here, a lot of people go with it. I had the dealer level mine and they used a skyjacker level kit for an 07-13 1500. Works just the same as the RC for 14' or any other 14' level kit. Also the RC lift has a good price for the option.

 

But if you already found a kit you like, there's no reason not to go with that if you would rather go a route you've already gone.

Ok great thanks for that. I guess I'll just roll with the flow and go with the RC kit. It's really not a bad price for the level and rear block. That way if I do decide to add the block I'll have it.

Awesome looking truck Steve! What lift is that? What is your wheel offset? 35" tires? Did u have to remove the rear forward mudflaps or just do it for looks?

 

I hope Im the right Steve you were talking about lo l if so the lift is a 7" Rough Country and the wheels are 18x10 -24 offset and yes 35s. I am not sure if I would have to remove the mud flaps as I removed them when it was only a few days old haha I don't like mud flaps lol

I did the Rough Country lift. 2.5, it was the 1/2 inch spacer on top of shock and then the 2 inch U shaped piece that moves the bottom shock up. No rear block change. Its all stock. My truck measures almost level front and back. 39.7 front and 40 inch in center wheel well in the back. This is a picture front stock to leveled to 295/55/20 tires. I also have a YouTube video to show my lift.ab8bc7a3bb0f1f4194e543cc2323ce9f.jpg

What kind of mpg are you seeing with the 7" on 35s?

With the basic Diablo Tune I was seeing 17 mpg and if on a flat interstate up to 21mpg.

Im playing more with my custom tuning from Lew so right now its a bit low but am working on finding the right spot to give me more power but with the mpg too

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
