Looks good. Whats your offset? Also you got any views of the wheels sticking out?

Not sure on the offset but her are the pics

Former Dodge Ram owner ('99). First Chevy, first post. '15 Silverado LT w/ Rally 2 package, blacked out emblems/wheels. Nice truck!

 

Recently I've found some small damage on the rims and equate that to the low profile side walls on the Bridgestone Dueler P285/45R22 Tires. (Sidenote: I believe this is about a 32 in). I figured I might as well get a bigger sidewall tire and started thinking about tires fitting the 22 inch rims, total tire size, possible down-size of rim (18 or 20), tire rub etc. Figured I would check into a possible lift, did some research and see a lot of people level their trucks and thought I may go that route. Let me say upfront I'm pretty much ignorant when it comes to suspensions, levels, lifts etc.

 

 

Started reading this topic from the beginning, got about a third of the way, couldn't find what I was looking for so I decided to cut to the chase so if this has been answered before I apologize.

 

While doing some research about lifts etc. I found a lot of people choose to level the Silverados. I felt this was a good thing to do as it's economical and easy to install. BUT, during my "research" I also found out I have the Z60 suspension, which apparently is an inch lower thank stock (I knew the truck rode a bit low but didn't know why). I haven't seen a lot of info about lifts on Z60s. Anyhoo...If my truck was stock, I would probably just go with a 2.5 lift with a possible 1.5 body lift. But, since I'm low, that won't get me where I want. So, should I pursue a possible 4 in lift and if so, does anyone have an idea on how that would affect my trucks ride with the Z60 sport suspension?

 

Thanks in advance,

My 2016 A/T. Pro Comp Stage 2 Coil Over kit set at 9" up front and slightly lower in the rear. Fuel 22x12 FF02 Forged wheels and 35x12.50 Toyo Open Country M/T. 1.5" rear wheel spacers as well. Drives like it did when it came off the lot (imo). Maybe a touch stiffer on the suspension. Only needed a minor trim on the front lower air dam. Love these trucks!

Welcome to the forum. If you do a 4" lift, then you'll be replacing the stock suspension and the z60 thing won't matter. Lots of great kits out there for these trucks. In the 4" range I see a lot of guys posting about the 4.5" zone or the 4" BDS. There are others. Check out this thread about "posting your 4 inchers". Don't worry it's not a bunch of small dicks. It's trucks with 4" lifts. Should give you some examples to work from.

Thanks Nate. I'll check it out. I did a little more digging and figured what you said, the lift would cure most of the Z60 issues.

I really like it and also really like the powder coating of the kit parts. Well thought out and well done.
