Did you take some pre level measurements to compare them against each other?

Unfortunately I didnt.

Strange, I just ordered my RC kit, 1305 GM 07-15 2.5" leveling lift kit and was told no difference concerning the control arms.

I ordered the Rough Country kit, 1305 GM 07-15 2.5" leveling lift kit and upgrade my tires to Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 2's, P275/60R20 which are 33" tall compared to my Goodyear Eagle LS2 which are 31.8. I will be loosing an inch and some in width (10.0 to 8.7 wide). One of the guys in the service department has 35"s on his 1500 with the same lift but I don't want to throw off the speedo too much... I would think there are other factors that would also be changed as a result of tire size such as shift points of the tranny etc... If I could just touch 34 inches tall I would be right in the sweet spot.

I do like the look of the wider tires on these stock 20 wheels but I need to check the wheel size. I believe these are 2013 LTZ wheels and should have 31 offset backspacing. My summer shoes also have 31 offset, 5308 Hollanders that come on the Tahoe, Avalanche etc... Decisions decisions...

Keep the photos coming in and don't forget to post your lift size and tire size with the photos. That really does help us guys on the fence!!!

I have a 2014 Sierra SLE with a 2.5 RC lift with the stock 1" block in the rear. I want to put 295/70/18. Will these work on my truck? I'm getting conflicting strories from the tire sizes. Some people say they don't rub with that size but others say they barely rub with only 33s. I little guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys. I'm a newbie to the site by the way. I've been getting a lot of good info from the threads.

Ok, I took a the top .5 " spacer off the kit and I thought that would fix the issue. However the popping noise is still present and the awful creaking noise too. I tried to get a video of it but it's hard because it's raining and I can't press the gas (exhausts fault). You can hear it faintly in the video when I turn the wheel and when I pop it out of reverse/drive. It acts up even more towards the end. Turn your volume up high because it's not a super loud noise. It's much louder in the cab than on camera, but that should give an idea.

I re torqued some of the bolts, I couldn't get to the ball-joint bolt yet. At this point I'm considering removing the hold kit. Any ideas??
