Here’s my 2015 GMC Sierra, small lift on 17’s with 35’s ko2

I love the 17”. I think my 18” are even too big.

Can't decide on fabtech 4" basic system with the replacement cross members or the 5" rough country knuckle kit. Both come with replacement cross members and knuckles, I know the fabtech keeps front track the same. I don't know  how noticeable the 1" difference will be. Fabtech told me this 4" kit was closer to 4.5 but haven't read that anywhere on here. Also rough country has a lifetime warranty.

I Like 18”s but thought 17”s would look better.

I had an RC 6” for 11,000 miles.

It was the worst decision of my life.

You’ll like the Fabtech.

Anyone running the rough country 5” knuckle lift know there height?

RC 5” and Bilsteins set at .75” with 33x12.5x20 had me about 82” to the top of the Shark fin antenna.

Yeah yours should be very similar to mine with the offset that you have. I seem to getting around 14-15 mpg now with the lift, with lots of stop-and-go and hills where I live. I felt like it was a little better before the lift (maybe 1-2 mpg), but it may just be in my head. Either way, it was well worth it, in my opinion. 

Finally got it done!  thanks for the advice bud

No one here has a rough country 5” knuckle kit?

[Jacoby]

I got a 7” Rough Country bracket kit. Love it

I’ve heard mostly good things about fabtech and a lot of bad things about RC. If I were going to modify suspension dramatically, especially geometry, I would not get the cheapest kit out there. No offense to you Folks running RC. If it works for you,  shake and bake!

Anyone running the fabtech basic 4 inch kit that comes with replacement cross members and knuckles ? I

spoke to fabtech and they told me that this one runs closer to 4.5 and the budget kit with new upper control arms ran closer to 3.5??

Yeah, removing the lower valance (air dam) is a no brainer.  I heard that guys lost some MPG.  While that seemed possible in theory (aerodynamics), it did not turn out to be the case.  The simplest way to improve aesthetics of these trucks and gives you better approach angle ground clearance.

5” and 6” lift guys, what is the size of your rear block? I think only RC offers a 5”, so curious to what size the block is?

I know zones 6.5 is a 5” block, but nobody else seems to have info on their rear block sizes. I’ll be running around 5-5.5” lift up front, so I’m trying to find the perfect rear block that sets me a touch higher in rear since I tow a big boat.
