I’m still on the fence on RC or SuperLift.

I can get a 8” SuperLift kit or a RC 7” kit. Which would you go with and why? I’m hoping I can get as much feed back as possible on this ASAP as I need to get orders in in two days.

Thanks guys.


I just had the 8” Superlift installed a few days ago and I am very pleased with it. No vibes or squeaking or anything. The installer said everything went on very smoothly. Kept my 20x10 XD wheels and put on 35x12.5 Mickey Thompson MTZ P3 tires. Tires seem great so far, not too much road noise and work well on the wet roads.

Did you go with the KING suspension? I’ve decided to go with the same kit with the KINGs.

I did not go with the King coil overs, just the standard kit with super ride shocks. Fender measurements are 45.75f and 46r

saw on facebook Rough Country has released its leveling kit and 2.5" lift for the 2014. they look exactly the same as for the previous generation. But, they have a video that shows a new silverado with a 2.5" on it. although its a little low for me, it looks amazing

I would 100% go with BDS over rcx. BDS is the superior kit. As for tires, I’d only run 33s if you were running a x12 or wider wheel. Since you want to run your stocks (as long as they’ll work) idcrun 35s

I was thinking the same!! I was also thinking a 4 inch lift.. but with the magneride in the Denali is making my selection tough. 

 

Do 4 inch lifts mess with your angles at all? Or are they all pretty good now? Really tossed between the 4 and 6”.. BDS doesn’t have a 4inch that’s compatible with the magneride.. which is making it tough.

If you get an actual 4” lift like BDS it’s fine, but if you get say a readylift 4” that’s not actually a lift, it’s a glorified leveling kit with crap angles to go along with it.

I’m your shoes I’d go BDS 6”

That’s what I figured!! However, BDS doesn’t have a 4 inch kit for the magneride suspension.. can anyone speak on Fabtech?? They have a 4 inch that works with the magneride for the Denali!

As long as it has a drop bracket to keep the angles in check should be fine

I've been told by several shops that the fab tech is good quality kit.  

 I went with the zone 4.5 zone..  And added a leaf in rear. 

I kinda wish I went higher....   

Gonna go up a notch on Bilsteins.....  Soon after all settles......

Looks like it leveled it out perfect....  

 I may just go up the one notch..  Leave a slight rake...  

 

BTW..   If you haven't changed your front diff fluid yet...   Don't freak out when you do...    Good chance it may be grey....
