2014+ Leveling Kits

[Blade79]

Anyone have pictures of what there cv angles look like after a 2-2.5 inch level?

here is a pic of my cv angle with a 3" I tho no I am going to drop it to a 2.5" I don't like the angle that it has.

I feel like a lot of these kits make the front end look higher up than the rear. Like an old 4 runner. Ha

 

I like the levels that do 1.5" front. Or 3" front and 2" rear. Does anyone know which kits do that?

The easiest and cheapest is an aluminum 3/4" thick lower front shock spacer from ebay. That'll get about 1 1/2" front lift. I've been running that since about May.

I started to install my King shocks, RC UCAs, and Hellwig sway bars today. Right off the bat I ran into the dreaded "aftermarket interference" The Rough Country UCAs interfered with the frame flange. At first it looked like I could grind away a bit and it'd be fine. After grinding 1/2" off the flange and down to where the camber/caster cam is, I stopped. Still interference as you can see in the pix. Anyone thinking of buying the RC UCA for their 2014 should reconsider. I used their live chat and their guy said it fit. Frankly, these wouldn't fit any truck. No-mo RC anything for me.

 

 

Look forward to your thoughts on the King shocks. I have been doing a little reading/research on coilovers for our trucks. Looking at King, Fox and Camburg....just not sure which way to go.

Has anyone done a level and body lift yet? Think this might be my best/cheapest option to use stock wheels and 35's without using spacers.

 

Not sure if I should have posted in the lifted* thread..

yes that has been done. Check out this thread. Its for achieving 3.5-4" of lift on these trucks.

Just finished a 2.5 level front only. Can't believe how much different it looks. Now to try and deside on rims/tires

[EChavez]

So I figured out what was wrong with the leveling kit. It was installed incorrectly, the top strut spacer was placed above the strut hat instead of under it. Stupid I know, I'm already kicking myself in the ass for letting it be done that way. The 1/2 spacer is ruined now. I want a new 1/2 spacer but I can't find them anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I try and make my own?

Well IMO those angles don't look too bad. What's everyone else think? Edited November 19, 2014 by Whiskey Bent

IMO they aren't bad at all. I really wanted to post that pic for later reference if I decide to jump off a cliff and go with a bigger lift

slight rub.

 

What do you guys think? what else should I do? new to the forum. Thanks.

 

 

 

Awesome looking truck. How is the negative offset with the rubbing? Is it only in reverse at full lock? I am really close to pulling the trigger on some new rims and the Fuel Mavericks and the Fuel Kranks are the 2 that I am looking at in that same -12 or possibly -24 with the 33 x 12.5 x 20 tires.
