Papa Smurf Rides On Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Should be getting my level kit tomorrow, to be installed this weekend. I went with the 2" fabtech, just want close to level, nothing crazy. I'll post pics when it's done. Hoping to wash the beast too, haven't washed her since I bought her!
TXS Heat Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 TX - how as the the cab noise with the MTs? I ran 35's on my 11' 2500HD and it was louder than I am willing to go on this truck. They dont stick out at all. If you went with 33x12.5 your tires will be wider than mine.
fella Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I'm hoping to go with 275/65R20 on my all-terrain sierra. will they fit without levelling?

Not bad at all, I seriously expected them to be a lot louder. The only drawback I see is the drop in mpg, especially in town. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
14sierra4x4 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Here's mine, 2" RC kit. any rubbing issues. Looking at same setup with 275/70/18 x 9 0 offset
Papa Smurf Rides On Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Level kit on, was hotter than Hades on Saturday when we did it. A buddy of mine has a '14 Silverado Double Cab 4x4. We both bought the same kit, both installed them together. Took about 4 hours. Lost an hour b/c the jack we had pretty much was donezo halfway through my install. We were delirious from heat by the time we were done. We also thought about taking measurements of before and after....... Except it wasn't until after that we considered this! Apparently we both were busy Friday night filling up on empty carbs so Saturday morning start made that difficult. Needless to say, no measurements, I haven't bothered to take photos b/c my truck looks like a pile of turd covered in dirt and bird turd, literally. BUT 2" isn't much so most of the people who came by Saturday afternoon to see it didn't notice the difference. I said step into the truck, then you'll notice. And they did. So I told the ladies 2" REALLY does make a difference!
austincm Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Hi guys I'm new here.Quick question..Does anyone have a leveling kit and run 33 inch tires on the 14 Silverado V8? I was just wondering what kind of MPG to expect. Thanks in advance!
BlueWrapper Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Hi guys I'm new here.Quick question..Does anyone have a leveling kit and run 33 inch tires on the 14 Silverado V8? I was just wondering what kind of MPG to expect. Thanks in advance! Pretty much everyone who's posted in this thread has has a level with 33s. MPG depends on how heavy the tires you get. If you get a P-rated 33 probably won't lose much, if you go with a heavy LT mud terrain expect to lose 2-4 mpg or more depending on the size.
Full Lock Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 what bluewrapper said. with 72lbs tires 12.5" wide running at 75+ I lost about 5mpg but if you run 65mph and below I can still clock over 20mpg. this was taken this morning but this was going to Colorado at 75-85mph 4000ft sea level at that point uphill into a headwind.
14sierra4x4 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 I put in some 3/4" lower spacers to get 1 1/2" lift. 38 1/4" front, 39 1/2" rear fender height. With the 33s it picked up the front a total of 2". I think I'm about where I want to be with it. How you like the ride on the st maxx compared to stock? Just ordered them
evergreen0077 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Im still up in the air on weather to do 275/60/20 or a 275/65/20.... I am going to do the RC 2.5 kit with 2 inch block in rear, is everyone having a little bit of rubbing with the 275/65/20 ?? Right now leaning towards the goodyear wrangler duratracs 1
