2014+ Suspension Lifts

[cmysstailights]

I'm looking into the rough country 3.25" level lift and looking to install airlift load lifter 5000. Will these 2 work together? It's for a 14 1500 high country

[PaChevy]

Just Joined the site. I have a 2014 Silverado with the RC 3.5 suspension lift. Just thought that I would give you a pic of the lift. I am going to do the 1.5 Zone body lift soon.....

I can get the BDS 4" lift installed with the fox upgrade for free with 1.5" hub centric wheel spacers, aligned, and tires re balanced for $2900......seems alright to me, or am I better off installing the kit myself? I do like to install my own stuff but I rather leave it to the professionals.

 

Would it look ok with 305/55/20s or would I have to step to a 295/60/20?

 

EDIT:

 

forgot to mention i have a 2" level right now and its not enough lift

I've got 295/60/20's on a 2" level with very minor rubbing so it should be more than ok on a 4" lift.

my 305s already rub a bit!!!

 

I'm wondering if it wont look funny as in...will there be enough tire or would I have to go 34 or 35??

[Travis Whitmore]

I'd bet it's the width that's causing the rub. I'm still on stock AT rims though with a 27mm off set. I'm wanting to do a -0- offset but need to do some measuring to make sure they won't rub too bad. Mine are the Toyo AT2 extremes. Roughly 33.8x11.8.x20

Pretty sure 305's are 12" wide or more.

Bds website says the fox coil over option is over 3400.00 dollars. so if someone is willing to install for 2900 . go for it

unless its just the rear shock upgrade its a deal. i personally can't see spending that kind of money on a lift but I don't do serious off roading either.

Yes it is the rear shock upgrade irs like a 200ish dollar option on BDSs site.

 

I dont do serious off roading either but i always get the best i can afford.

The one thing I did when researching kits was read the installation manuals. The bds kit requires modification to your differential (that is not reversible) and welding.

Also the Zone kit (made by BDS) is basically the same kit and cheaper. Read the manual its the same instructions.

That being said my Rough Country bracket lift also required frame modifications, but its nothing that I am not confident I could not weld back together. That, the fact that I could run factory 20s and Price were a big factor for my decision. I have had zero issues with the kit and the truck rides great, alignment was almost dead on before the alignment was done . Its has been on since november. No squeaks or rattles . Just my input

The Pro Comp kit they say is completely reversible

Just got the 4" BDS installed.

I went with 18x9 Fuel Cleaver -12 offset wheels and 305/65/18 BFG KO2's.

I only have about 25 miles on it so far, but I'll report my opinions soon enough.

Does anyone have experience with the Fabtech budget 4" with the dirt logic shocks? or any experience with their Dirt logic shocks in general?

Thanks,

Neil

I dont care about reversible mods as this truck is mine and if anything will be lifted even more and never going to go back to stock.

 

I was told that the RC kits have fitment issues and that the BDS is a much better kit as well as a smoother ride with the Fox shock upgrade, that it would ride better then the stock....i have called 3 shops in town and all tell me dont buy RC.
