These newer trucks only have 3 leaf springs in rear.  They squat easy with little load and ir towing.  The extra leaf helps a lot.  

Yes they do squat pretty easy

Any advice running oem wheels with the 6 inch knuckle lifts? I’m staying away from the rough country bracket lift. Bds or fabtech seem to have the magnaride system down

Truck looks great. if you had to guess, just how far out did the Zone push the front track? I really don't want to push the front track wider, but I don't want an RC bracket lift either.
Also, Who did the lift? Yourself or a shop in the Houston Area?
 

1.5” per side

I can see the front sitting higher in that pic.  Looks good.... 

Hmmm,  up to second notch or third...  Decisions..   Decisions....    ?

  Prolly just going up to second notch to sit closer to level...

Yup no problems.  Truck drives and performs great.  Gonna get a good test in few weeks..   Going to Moab ?

 

Wheels are 20X10 but a -12... Running a 34 inch X 11....  So I stick out little further than I want.  I already had the custom rock stars before the lift. 

Lots of pics please! MOAB is on my list of "to-dos"

That looks awesome! That maybe all I need is 4 inch lift. Any spacers needed use the factory wheels? Ride quality? Stabilatrac issues?

 

2 in spacer in the rear, just to match the front.  Great ride quality (upgraded to fox shock) and no issues at all with stabilatrac

Has anyone upgraded there tie rods for a 2014 and up Silverado/Sierra 1500? If so, which company did you go with? Thanks

Do you mind sharing which shocks you went with for the rear? I know you used the standard 5100 for the front but with the lift I didn't know which part number Bilstein you used. Thanks.

I have the Zone Nitros as well, but I think they are quite stiff. How do the Fox shocks compare?

Got the Fox’s in today. Big improvement. The ride is more plush, but still firm.

I have been in and out of this form and a few others so I thought I’d post an update.. 

 

i ended up going with the SuspensionMaxx 2.5” level in the front for now.. I intended on using my stock 22’s.. however, I came across a sweet deal on new Mayhem wheels and new rubber.. I couldn’t say no! Lol

 

here she is now.. very excited with how it turned out! The brackets for the Magride make it ride basically the same as before!
