Picked up my new 2014 Sierra last night

[Saleenpowr]

After seeing the new trucks on the lot and and on the road, I just knew I had to trade my 2011 GMC SLE in. So I told the deal what I wanted and they got me out of my lease 8 months early and into a new 2014 SLT 2wd with $0.00 out of pocket and even dropped my payments. Loving the new truck. Light years ahead of my 2011 in every aspect. More power, better interior, so many little improvements that make the truck that much better. Oh, and that new truck smell.....

 

So now let the modding begin....

 

My 2011 had the RC Level kit with 305/55/20 Trail Grapplers on it and I loved the look. I have the 20" facotry wheels on my new GMC (love the look BTW) and was wondering if I can fit the same size tires with the 2" RC kit on the new truck without needing to trim anything. My old truck rubbed a bit at full lock which was ok. I just don't want to order the tires and then find out I have to cut a bunch of stuff.

 

Also, will my Extang roll up bed cover from my 2011 shortbox fit the new bed? And do the 2wd trucks lower than the 4wd trucks on the 2014's?

 

One and only pic for now:

Nice looking truck! Congrats! I believe the beds have the same dimensions, so the cover should fit. The cover I installed last night included directions for 07-13, and 2014 GM trucks. The only difference in the instructions had to do with the rail caps, which are standard on 2014's.

 

Can't help you with tire questions, I'm leaving ride height and aero alone on mine, I don't want to F up the gas mileage I'm getting.

Thanks. I'll be throwing the bed cover on it tonight then. I didn't think it would be that much of an issue.

Congrat's on the new Sierra!

 

I also thought the inside of the 2007-2013 vs. 2014 beds looked exactly the same (less these new LED cargo lamps). I haven't understood this new 2014 advertising the "solid stock rolled steel construction"??

did you lease your new truck ?

[Saleenpowr]

did you lease your new truck ?

Yep.

I would probably think twice before modding a lease too much... especially with level kit. Just a thought..

My last Sierra had the RC level kit and 33"s. Dealer didn't give a crap and I bought from the same place.

Dealer wont mind a level or lift I'm sure - you have to remember that dealers usually have access to almost any part they need to spruce the truck up and put it out on the used lot for sale.

 

That new Sierra looks amazing. Love the wheels. I saw a 2014 White Diamond SLT the other day with the same wheels and I was very impressed. Enjoy that new ride and post picks after your level.

i was told the Retrax bedcover for 2013 gmc's wouldn't fit the new 2014's. I was at a shop the other day and looked at some. They thought they were the same til they looked them up in their computer. Better be safe and double check

I think he has a cover from his old truck. Won't hurt anything to try it...

So does anybody know if the 2wd's sit at the same height as the 4wd's? I already put in the order for the RC level and hope that the 305/50/20 Grapplers fit.

[BringTheRain403]

I think you're the guinea pig here. There's only a hand full of lifted 14's out there right now and I think they are all 4x4's...
