2014+ Suspension Lifts

[jimmyboy8301]

Finally got the zone 6.5 and 35s installed. couldn't be happier with the results. I havent changed the speedo yet (hypertech arriving on saturday) but according to google maps my normal drive to work is 29.9 miles but the truck tracked 27.8 miles. Anyone have an idea on speed difference at 65 mph?

 

I remember from my old lifted truck on 37s the truck was reading 3mph slower at 65mph.

yes i believe that. The speedo app told me at 60mph I was really going 65.

question on these Rough Country 5in bracket lift and Knuckle lift.

 

can i get the bracket lift and add knuckles for more lift down the road?

 

also which kit 4.5 to 7in is the easiest to reverse (minimal cutting)?

"That 5" bracket kit will allow for 33" tires.

No you can not add a knuckle kit to it later for more lift without going to the knuckle kit suspension.

Hey guys, I'm here as a noob... I've read up and down this thread and have gotten tons of info. I'm stuck between two kits. (Zone 6.5" lift or the RC 6" Lift)

I noticed with the Zone kit I cant re-use my factory 18" wheels and was wondering if there was a way around that besides getting new wheels. I have 33" BFG K02's (275/70r18) on them. If that helps with the issue...

 

Then it leaves me with the RC 6" lift kit that allows me to re-use the factory wheels. I'm curious as to how this lift will affect the ride. If I decide to go with this kit should I get the Premium N2.0 or the Performance 2.2 shocks? ( I do take my truck on trails just about every other weekend but nothing extreme)

 

Which do you all recommend?

 

Thanks in advance! Sorry for so many questions. This is my first truck. 2016 Silverado CC Z71 (oem ranchos)

You may not be able to reuse the stock wheels. I have the zone 4.5" and the "nun" on the uca rubbed on the inside of the tire with stock 20s. However I can attest to the quality of zone twice over

I appreciate your response. Thanks!

 

If I decided to get an aftermarket wheel what offset would I need If I went with 18" wheel?(if I went with the zone lift) Trying to reuse my bfg ko2 since they only have 2k on them. I'll go bigger later on.

the issue for me was the massive amount of positive backspace and the little nub on the stamped steel UCA

I have this kit. I have 275/65r20 which is basically 34 inçh. I am thinking i can get 35s on easily.

This kit requires alot of cutting. Cannot be reversed unless uou are good with a welder.

But it doesnt change yourstock stance which is why i did it.

[celflex]

I don't mind cutting something that can be put back in and welded.

I just want the option to go back to stock if needed be.

 

That shot down my 4.5 or 5in lift idea.

Going to shoot for 7-9 now.

 

Something that's true lift, keeps track width the same and can use factory 20s

I've read a bunch of these posts and talked to a bunch of shops. Monday I'm getting the zone 6.5" lift and keeping my stock 20" all terrain wheels. Everything I've read says it will work. They have said that one of the smaller wheels won't work. I was thinking it was the 18" wheels but not sure.

Everything I read said it would too, my ucas (stamped steel) rubbed the inside of the tire 305/55 with stock 20s. Zone was at a loss. I think it depends on the type of ucas

I cant seem to post pics from my computer unless its to my profile, but this is my current set up just want to get 37's under it.

I'd leave the tires you have on there. 37s will kill you gas mileage

Funny cause they show a denali with the bracket lift with 295 60 20 on their YouTube channel. Last i checked those weren't 33s.

 

The 4.75 is just the 3.5" lift with an added body lify so just be aware of your labor cost when installing both a suspension AND a body lift.

after skimming 200 pages, i'm thinking cognito seems to be the best route.

anyone have any reviews on any of these parts? pros cons price etc?
