2014+ Leveling Kits

morrislee · January 1, 2015

Well I'm a little late in responding, but I have a 2014 Silverado Z71, Double Cab, and I have the Ready Lift 2.25" Level Kit installed on my truck. Yes, it seems the kit is a little on the expensive side, but this is the kit my dealer sells and installs. I thought it was worth the extra few bucks to have my Dealer do the install just in case any issues pop up later. The whole job, including the kit, an allignment, labour, and taxes (I'm in Ontario Canada, and our tax is 13%) was just slightly under $600, taxes inc. Not all that bad, considering the kit itself was about $280.00. I could have saved about $40 on the kit if I bought it elsewhere, but I just bought it through my Dealer.

The quality of the kit is "Top Notch", for what you get.........a couple of aluminum spacers. They look well made and quality machined, but they are still just a couple of aluminum spacers. IMHO the ride is pretty much the same as before the lift kit installation. It is a longer step up into the cab, and I find I am using my step bars a lot more.

The kit raised the front exactly 2.25". The truck to me looks pretty much perfectly level, although it still does sit 1" higher in the rear. This is my first experience with doing any sort of levelling/lifting, and as long as I don't run into any pre-mature failure of my front end components, I'll be happy. It certainly does improve the overall look IMO.

A couple of shots

I still think it is too much, I got another place to quote me on leveljng kit for only 2", total of only $300+ tax ( that is parts AND alignment AND remaining labour!!)

I asked around, if it is under 3.5" should not void warranty, even if that is the case, they have to proof that is thr cause of the issue.

Looks like it! I'm shocked that front valance made it through this adventure, it looks like it was close!

We had a good 14 inches and it plowed the snow away. It's staying on!

What was your height of the front and rear fenders before?

How do you like set up so far? I'm looking at a set of Terra Grappler ' s that a friend took of his truck before trading it in. They have less than 2,000 miles on them and he wants $630. I have the same rims also. Would you mind taking a close up picture of tired and rim?

Thanks

I love the stance of the truck now. The LT tires are great but you'll feel every bump in the road being a z71. Fuel mileage is around 19-20 highway and around 15-16 city

The tires you have are LT tires so they are most likely a 10 ply. That is what is holding me up right now on buying what would be my 3rd set of tires. I want to get at least a 33" tall set of tire, closer to 34 would be perfect for me but I haven't found any "P" series tires that would get my that height. I don't want or need the 10 ply or want the heavy weight of the LT tires.
