2014+ Suspension Lifts

rotten tomato · December 8, 2014

Anyone with a lift have any trouble with alignment? I have had to have mine aligned 4x in less than 2000 miles. I do not do any off roading. Just normal driving. In have a 4 inch BDS lift with 295/65/r20"s. So I don't have anything crazy. Any suggestions would be great.

4.5" zone with cooper st maxx 35's

This truck looks great. I guess I'm getting old but I love a clean simple setup. Makes me regret getting rid of my stock wheels.

Something is askew. my 6" on 35s drives smooth as butter, i still max the governor out here and there, and with the difference in speedo/governor and actual speeds means it's bout 105MPH. mine pulls slightly to the right, but not enough to go back, even though i had a free follow up alignment.

Screensaver worthy truck

appreciate it man, not really; maybe if i wasnt missing the center cap in the back haha. ill get some quality photos up with the new lift/tires soon.

go for it. my truck is 2wd so the lift is just a 3" spindle lift; cant really mess that up. and then the other 3 inches are from the spacer on the front suspension. no change in ride quality, suspension geometry remains unchanged, etc. i have a 4 block on the rear for the 6 up front, pretty level

How much does that kit run?

I havent had any issues out of mine but my lift is still pretty new. 4 times in 2k is insane. My alignment shop told me to bring mine back after 1k for a final check and torgue on everything.

buy it from there, best price, and SUPREME customer service. there was an issue with my order on the supplier's end (maxtrac) but they went above and beyond and fixed it, shipping quickly to meet my deadlines, and were fantastic people.

Did you have to do any trimming? I called maxtrac and they said wait for their 7 inch kit coming out before trying to run 35's on my 2014 2wd

2 things to note. the 2wd 2014 silverados are the exact same height as the 4WD. ive measured multiple times. first generation to be like this.

second, they told me that they had their seven inch kit coming out soon, more than 6 months ago. so it very well could be tomorrow, but not the case thus far.

i have not had to trim the front valance like you have to almost every other generation. i did tear off the driver's side plastic trim piece that is on the wheel well right in front of the driver's door. in reverse at full lock it rubs those pieces slightly.

IDK where you are, but i will be selling my 20" wheels as seen in my photos, and the used 35s (less than 50% tread) when you are ready.

thanks for the info it was very helpful. I am in Louisiana and have 20's already. Not sure that would get me where I need to go.
