2014+ Leveling Kits

[Spurshot]

I finished installing the rear King shocks today. I had installed the fronts earlier in the week. I took it for a short drive thru a rough road near me. It seems to be a great ride. The rear shocks contributed more than I thought.

 

I'll put a week of freeways and city streets on it and see how it is. I just won't be able to get it out in the dirt for a few weeks.

I bought them off the classifieds here on GM-Trucks.com. who didn't use them. I did get a great deal, but in deference to the seller, I will leave it at that. I think they commonly retail for about $2300 for a 4 shock set.

I'm perfectly happy with mine. This is 4th truck I've had RC leveling kit on.

Spurshot your truck looks very nice.

IMO your mods are tasteful and really make the truck stand out.

How much did everyone's fuel mileage suffer with the leveling kit and the over sized tires??

It's going to be all over the place. Diameter, width, tread, etc.. Someone with a 35 will take a much bigger hit than someone with 33s. The Raptor comes with 35s and gets 13 mpg. It's 13 mpg because of the tires not the engine. Put 31.5 tires on it and change the gearing and it'll probably do very well on mpg. I have 33x12.50x18 tires and my average over the entire life of 10,000 miles is right about 16 when you factor in the speedo error. That's all city, which includes the L.A. freeway system, a.k.a. "Tijuana Gran Prix". I'm in the 2-3 mpg loss. I'm guessing 35s are gonna be around 3-5 mpg loss or more.
