2014+ Suspension Lifts

[Robert.jean1]

Who has done the Add a Leaf for the 6'' suspension lift? When I originally bought and installed mine I did not opt for it but after a year my truck seems to sit about a full inch lower in the rear. I would really like my truck to sit at the very least level if not a little rear end high by .5'' or 1''. If anyone has any knowledge on the subject please I would be most appreciative as the current stance of my truck is kinda making me crazy.

I have the add a leaf on the 9" mcgaughys. Levels it nice and no squeaks or issues.

Question for guys with 6"+ lifts. Did it void the warranty ? I have 5/100k "supposedly" which we all know how warranties are. Did it void yours? Looking at the fts 7" with 7-9" struts set at 8" and 18x12 wheels and 35/37 coopers. Depends on test fit.

It all depends on the dealer, if they can prove the lift caused the failure then it is void. I went with a BDS as it has a secondary powertrain warranty from 360plus that covers up to $5k in repairs if the dealership voids powertrain warranty due to lift. 360plus matches standard manufacturer warranty. I have a 2014, so I have 5yr 100k from original in service covered by 360plus. My GM one is extended bumper to bumper 6yr 100k. Haven't had any issues to test this with other than AC and of course that is not suspension related. They fixed that no questions.

the lift should only void suspension

4 1/2 in zone 295 65r20

Finally! This is exactly the combo I was looking for. Thinking 35x12.5 would stick out too far for me, thought this would be a good option. Can u give any more details on your set up, wheel size, width, offset? My current wheel is 20x9+30. This might give me the confidence to pull the trigger. Love the look of your truck!

Thats basically what I have on my Chevy except I went with 1.5" zone body lift and 305/55r20

Only thing I wish I would have done different is gone with mud terrain tires, but that will get changed.

Do you think you would be able to clear the Nitto Trail Grappler 305/55r20 with your current set up?

Thanks for your help

If all I want to do is level my Z71 and get some 275/70r18's under it, would the Rancho Quicklifts be ok? I know some people complain about their ride, but I have Ranchos on it now and like them. I'm planning to get the Quicklift fronts and some 9000XL's for the rear. I've heard I'll only get ~2" of lift in the front. I'm fine with that so if I'm pulling the rear end doesn't sag too much. Just looking for some opinions and other options.

I love my rancho's quick lifts and 9000xl rears ride way better than stock

Anyone run the RC 3.5" kit on a '16 truck with the stamped steel control arms? I'm wanting to run this kit on my '17 AT but RC says it wont work with those arms and the CV boot will rub the CA. I want to run this set-up with 295/60/20 on factory wheels. Thanks for any info.

You could probably fit those wheels witha level...I have Blistein 5100's at the highest setting and am running 285/55r22's which is aprox 34.5" tire and your looking to run a 34" tire...it will be close...my offset is +12..there is some rubbing on felt fender liner that I had to zip tie back and trim a little of the stock GMC fender flare. Now it only runs when turning and going over bumps at certain speeds...I think if I was sitting at a 2.5" level as opposed to a 1.9" I would clear better

Yeah you are probably right. On my '14 I ran the 2.5" RC level kit with factory 20s and 295/55/20. It rubbed the swaybar at full lock but that was it. Those tires were only about 32.5" but wider then I'd like to run now. I would like it to be a little higher now. Also looking at the Mcgaughy 4" kit but just hate to pay over $1K for basically the same parts. Most companies are saying their Al kit works with the stamped steel arms just not sure what different with the RC kit. May call again tomorrow. Thanks.

Can anyone confirm what the stock 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain 20" wheel offset/backspace is? Bought the truck slightly used and it has after market 20x9+30 wheels and i want to see if i can do a set up similar to the guys running the stock rims.

Thanks
