2014+ Leveling Kits

surebuttercringe · July 30, 2014

Thanks. I was looking at doing rc 2.5 level and zone 1.5. Total of 4. Not sure if these tires will make it. Wanted to run my stock 18s, but if a different offset is required to get away with the 295 70 18s, I will either go that route or try a smaller size.

You should have no problem with making that tire size fit with even just the level. I'm running 275/70R18 on the stock Z71 wheels with no issue on just a 2.5" level. There's tons of room left for a slightly wider tire. With a body lift, you could go much bigger than that even.

Thanks. Today I was eyeballing some 325 60 18's. Someone posted some 315 50 20's and said there was still room left. So many decisions. But still have half life left on stockers, so I have some more time for research... and others to try out more combos.

Sierra1500mm - your truck looks awesome, my 2009 was the same colour and loved it I just wanted to change up for the new one.

I've been doing tons of research to decide which leveling kit to get. In the course of my research, I measured my wheel wells and it turns out my passenger rear sits roughly 3/4" higher than my driver's rear. Has anyone else noticed this? I initially thought it was because of the gas tank, but it measures the same whether the tank is empty or full.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I didn't know where else to post it.

Most GM's do this, I think it has something to do with the arc or the roads. Most roads aren't flat and tend to sit lower at the gutter, so rain will wash away. But I could be wrong, I just seems to be the only logical explanation too me…

Sharp looking truck 20Sierra14!

How is the clearance on those tires with a 1.5" level? I put a 2" on mine and was looking at doing the 275-65-20's, but I've heard from some that it rubs and from others that it doesn't.

Just got a question for all you leveled guys do you still have the problems that are described in the "Shake or vibration" thread in the problem section?

Mine is 37 3/16 in the front on both sides, however the right rear is 39 3/4 and the left rear is 40 1/4. I thought this was due to the fuel tank being on the left rear??

Yours sits higher on the right rear? Hmmmm interesting, thought I had it figured out. That means the dealer is full of ...........

Edit: I wonder if the measurement is the same from the ground to the frame.

I'm not super concerned about it. When I get some more time, I'll take some more measurements. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Anyone heard of any ball joint issues on the newer figs like the 900s? They used to have problems with the levels causing premature wear on the ball joints up front.

Hey I just saw your truck posted on bks built trucks on Instagram and it looks bad ass. I've read this whole thread and I have a couple questions for you, or just anyone who can help. I've been in the process of ordering those same rims and tires for my 2014 white crew cab all terrain and I have the rough country 2.5" level installed on the front already. What is your offset on your rims and what are the tire specs, does it rub and did you have to trim. I want to try and fit some 305/55r20 trail graps on those rims maybe even a 20x10 with a negative 12 or 18 offset or whatever they offer in this rim but I haven't seen anyone do it with this same set up yet so I thought Id stop reading and waiting and just ask. Thanks for y'all's help

20x9 +20mm with 295/55/20. No rubbing. BKS did a great job on these. It's a really good looking setup.
