2014+ Suspension Lifts

[KA0S]

I just went outside and tried to eyeball it with a tape measure, but no level - looks like about 76 inches. I'll try to get a more definite measurement when I get home tonight.

 

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!

with just the 4" BDS/4.5" Zone you should definitely clear a 7' door

LOTS of shopping mall or office building garages are 6'6" clearance around here. Some are more, but generally not.

After much debate, I ended up going with zone 4.5", fox 2.0's, 35x12.50r20 Nitto ridge grapplers and my stock evevation rims. I have zero rubbing, but haven't had it off-road much yet. The truck rides as good or better as did stock and tracks like an arrow, even at interstate speeds. As much as I hunt from the truck, I wanted it usable. I'm in and out of the rear multiple times with the hawks/beagles and didn't want to be standing on my tiptoes while doing it.

 

Having said that, if I decide I want the 6.5" down the road , it sounds like all I'll need to do is replace my rear blocks and the front strut spacer and call it a day. The 4.5" is plenty high, I'm 6' and it takes a little jump up into the truck. The truck is dirty, but I snapped a few pics to give an idea if anyone is thinking of going this route.

Only have 300 miles on them, but they are super quite at the moment.

7.5" RCX lift

OEM 20s

Mud claw 35x12.5x20

 

 

Going to work next on painting up a backing plate to go behind the RCX logo to give it a subtle pop.

Looking good!

Trying to decide which would be better on my 2014 SLT. Thoughts?

 

Zone 4.5" w/ rear Fox 2.0 or RC 5" w/ N2.0 front/rear struts. Both around $1,400.

Don't get the RC. I have that Zone lift and I love it. I went with the Nitro shocks and they work great

Well i got my rough country 3.5" installed this weekend. I added the spacer on top of the strut up front and the upper control arms that came with the kit, and then added the block and rough country shocks in the back. I didnt use the little 1/2" spacer that goes under the springs up front because i didnt feel that 1/2" was worth the effort of dissassembling the entire strut.

 

This pic is on level ground with only the front spacer/control arm done. here the front was 1 1/4" higher than the rear.

 

this is one on unlevel ground(front is downhill from the rear) with the front done, and the reat blocks and shocks just before i got the alignment done.

 

Anyone ever had an issue with the one side of the truck being like an inch higher than the other after installing a lift? My right side is 1 full inch higher on the right side than it is on the left. The rought country tech rep guy has no idea what would cause that and apparently has never heard of it.

Jnach, have you went with a larger tire yet? I am debating on doing the zone and stuffing 35" dia tire in there. Hoping to see what the truck looks like with meatier tires and the stock chrome wheels like you have.

its called the "Chevy lean" and it doesn't just affect lifted trucks, just more noticeable. Usually it's sits lower on the gas tank side.

Rough Country sucks. Go zone with the Fox 2.0's.
