2014+ Suspension Lifts

mrhonestlyinsane · October 26, 2015

Just got done lifting mine. 5 inch rough country bracket lift.

Took me roughly 14 hrs doing on my garage floor. Was a lot of work.

Clears my 275/65r 20 tires easy. No rubbing. Fender height is now 43 1/4 inches front and 45 3/4 rear. I have an add a leaf in the rear I like rake perfect level looks nose high to me.my stock measurements were 36.0 f and 38.5 rear.

So this is really a 6 inch lift 1 inch us tires.

Overall I am happy with it drove it. Down a bumpy dirt road about 5 miles long. No noises. No stiffer than with my level kit.

One of the issues I had was the studs would not fit into holes. You are supposed to press them but I couldn't even get passed the threads.so I drilled them larger then pressed them.

The other issue was the supplied lower rack bolt was supposed to be 140 mm, but it was 160 mm so made a spacer.

The only other issue was tightening the diff. The bolts were impossible to get to.

Doing this on the ground was not fun. I worked 18yrs as a flat rate mechanic and still have all my tools. You have to do a good amount of cutting. The job is not for the faint of heart because you are cutting up your brand new truck.

Looking for some input, if you have a negative comment don't even bother. This is my first vehicle and this is what I could afford, 14 Silverado 2wd v6 with the 3.23 gears. I read pretty much all the threads. I like how lifted trucks look and I'm currently on a level with 33s and the truck performs just fine. I want to do a 6"lift but keep my 33s. I know this gear ratio isn't the best to go with 35s and honestly I don't have money to throw like that. Will adding a 6" lift have a big effect on my truck? Like messing up the gears or does that only get damage when trying to push bigger tires? What are the cons of doing this to this particular truck? Thanks in advance

Looks really good. I like the 1" of rake you have, dont see that too often. I set mine with 1" rake also, doesnt make it look nose heavy and when you tow or haul somehting it goes level.

Technically all the gears care about are wheels and tires, the lift height doesn't necessarily impact them (yes if you jack it way up and increase drag / resistance yada yada yada physics lol) but at the end of the day the wheel and tire added weight is what will kill you. I'm sure 33s are fine now, but I agree with you I wouldn't push 35s on that setup. My opinion would be to go with the 5" rcx kit and keep your 33s, perfect stance IMHO

Just read the thread where owners of lifted trucks and bigger tires were having issues with stabilitrac. I noticed (could've missed something though) that owners with rough country, BDS, and custom lifts had these issues and that the alignment / possibly the stabilitrac sensor wires were pinched/stretched were the most likely causes. One owner contacted Rocky Ridge and RR felt it was stretched sensor wires causing the problems. Others seem to have corrected the issue by having their truck aligned properly.

I posed the question in that thread and I'll pose it here also because many different types of lift makes are represented here; are Pro Comp 6" lift owners having an issue with stabilitrac?

I have a 2014 lifted with Rough Country 7" and 49K miles and no stabilitrac issues at all
