2014+ Suspension Lifts

Stacy Crute · August 10, 2015

Hey guys, have been lurking the past few weeks. I think I literally read through most 99 pages of this thread in the past 2 weeks but was "unsure" if I was getting a truck or not so didnt pay close enough attention.

Well saturday I picked up a new 2015 chevy 1500 dbl cab... had to get rid of my jeep and get back into a lifted truck.

Need to lift asap. Looking for 6".. questions for that.

Looking to be in the rough country price range.. I want to do 6"...

Comparing rough country 6" to zone 6.5" and the pro comp 6" what are some + and - for PC vs RC vs zone? Is the zone really 6.5 high? 6 is high enough i dont want that extra .5 if i dont need it lol... is there good justification to spend a few hundred more for PC vs RC? Is there another in that price range that I'm forgetting to consider?

Also, assuming I end up with the Rough Country, I'm planning on running 35x12.5x20 terra grappler g2's... the wheels I'm looking at are +18 offset. Should that be ok? Any pics of a 6" rough country lift with +18 offset? How much will they stick out with that lift? I saw mentions of front/back being uneven, will I need spacers or was that with an older style lift from RC?

Sorry for some many questions but trying to sort this out and very ancy to start ordering stuff. Thank you in advance!!!

Look at mike1220 build page. Ask him his offset but lift I'm pretty dang sure he chose RC 6"

That looks great? How are your angles and do you have a straight side shot to see how it sits? I drop mine off Wednesday to have the 6.5" Zone installed.

I'm keeping the stock GMC 18s but opted to go with a 295/70 Cooper STT which is just over a 34. Have you had any rubbing issues? Those chrome stockers look incredible. I'm a sucker for the stock/lifted look.

Went to dealership today to have them verify the torque on everything and snapped this side shot. The truck was the talk of the dealership every employee and most of the customers wanted to get a look. Liked it so much that they didn't charge me. Hot damn.

Would these fit my truck without rubbing?

20x9 Black Fuel Maverick 6x135 & 6x5.5 +20 Wheels Terra Grappler 285/50R20

I have RC 2.5 front and 1" block rear.

yes. I had 305 50 20 with 20x9 and 0 offset when I first got my truck and only had 2" kit at that time and no rub at all so u will be fine

most popular size with rc2.5 is 20x9 with 0 offset or +1 and 295 55 20. Local 4wd shop here does that set up all day and trucks look good with that set up

Kinda wondered what mine would look like with black wheels. I wonder if it would be possible to paint the bright areas of those rims with a color matched paint and how it would look as opposed to black and polished.

With money anything is possible.

I had the same experience with my black 2012 Denali the first time I took it to the GMC dealership. Had every damn sales person out there asking about it. Got to love good looking trucks!

Robert.jean1 · August 11, 2015

I don't know if it would rub or not but only being a 33" tire my gut says no.

Should clear. I ran 2.5 level and 1.5 body on my 14 with 20x10, -24, 305 55 20 and no rub.

285/50/20 is smaller than the stock 275/55/20. So yeah, they're going to fit and look really small.
