I have the 3.42 gears but I was just wondering the answer to this question myself. Hopefully someone will chime in.

I have the 5.3L with 3.42's and after the 6.5" ready lift and 35" tires to me there wasn't much difference in the drive, where I really noticed the difference is on the highway trying to pass when I'm already doing 75/80 there wasn't the same passing power and quickness as before the lift/tires.

 

So instead of regearing my differentials to get some power back I just bought a blower and got my power back that way :-)

Just ordered the RC 2.5" kit for my new '15 GMC Sierra slt crew.. Can't wait! Looking at BFG 275/65/20 KO2's for her new shoes... I see 4 wheel parts and 4 wheel drive hardware (same company?) are running a hell of a deal.. Any deal with this company? Thanks!

I ordered the exact same thing but am being told all kinds of different things from RC about tire sizes. Does anyone know if i install the 2.5" RC level lift kit if I can run +12 offset wheels with 275/65/20 tires and not have any rubbing issues? Please HELP ME!

Any have experience with Cognito lift kits? Saw this truck at SEMA and the LA Auto Show. Wasn't anyone around to ask questions, but I love this setup. It appears the KING coilovers only work on up to a 3.5 inch lift.

I have heard great things about cognito lifts. I know they are know for their larger lifts like the 10-12's but they are a good company with good customer service. I was in the market for the larger lifts 7"+ and was narrowed it down to full throttle suspension cognito and mcgaughy. All are good brands. That kit with the king shocks I bet is a good ride. King shocks are also a pretty good brand.

Anyone running the Zone 4.5" that can take some pictures at different angles next to a stock height silverado? I was dead set on the Zone 6.5" and when i was passing my local dealership i saw they had a 2015 CC with a Pro Comp 6" lift.

 

I ended up test driving it and loved it. It was a lot taller in person than i thought. Pictures don't really do these trucks justice! The 6" was badass, but the dealer didn't have steps on it so it was different having to put some effort into getting up there! LOL (Im 5'-06") I loved the lift, however I'm now thinking that the 4.5" might be better suited for me, but i can't decide without seeing one in person.

I have the Zone 4.5 but i dont have any pics next to a stock truck... I'm 6'2 and i can still get in it pretty easy without steps. But i do have the amp research steps and they come in handy. a pic will be in my signature. but im very pleased with this lift and think its the perfect height!

I have a 2014 silverado 1500 LT with a mcguaghys 4" lift kit and my truck rides extremely rough now. Every bump i feel in my dash and throughout my whole cab. Is anyone familiar with this lift and have had the same problems? Or does anybody have any suggestions on how to soften the ride?

Cuz it's a piece of crap stretched leveling kit. You're only chance at even barely making the ride better is to go Bilstein struts but they probably won't last... Only true way to improve ride quality is remove the 4" kit and install a real lift
