Does anyone have the torque specs to all the bolt when adding the RC 2" front lift kit? Or atleast point me in the right direction ;) Thanks

Looks great! I think that we are 2 of the few to go with 17" wheels. Looks sharp man.

Well, here is the aftermath of the 5100 and cognito install. I'm not very good at step by step pics, so these are pretty much just after shots…

The height difference doesn't look to obvious over the 2" RC kit that was in there, but the ride is so much better. Truck sits about 3/8" higher now…

Did you use bilsteins plus spacers or the bilsteins at the highest setting? Also how do those new UCAs feel?

Daly · April 18, 2015

I used the 5100's at the highest setting and fab up a set of 1/4" spacers to go under the strut…

Got my 2in rough country leveling kit installed about a month ago.

Here is the pic fresh off the lift at the shop.

Now I have the itch to get some wheels and tires but I'm more confused than ever. If anyone can provide some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking about doing some 285/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers and putting them on the stock rims, but the sales guy at discount tires swears 305/55/20 terra grapplers would fit no problem.

Reading through here it seems the 305/55/20's are going to rub, anyone have that size with no rub?

If I decide on the 305/55/20's can I fit those with the proper rim offset? If yes what offset would that be? I don't want the tires poking out to much from the fender.

Thanks for any help!

Here is my 1.5" Level kit. It comes with 3 spacers for the bottom struts allowing anywhere from 1", 1.5", or 2". I wanted a little rake so I went with the 1.5" I got it on ebay. Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADJUSTABLE-LIFT-LEVELING-KIT-Raise-your-front-end-1-1-1-2-or-2-/121313284674?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASilverado+1500&hash=item1c3ed5d242&vxp=mtr

Are you still liking this lift kit? How is it holding up? Thanks a head of time.

Have a new 2015 truck now, but the kit held up fine and I had no problems with it. If you want the front raised, but like a little rake, little cost, this is the way to go.

However....the new truck feels smother than my 2014 over the small bumps, the only difference being the level kit. I could be going crazy, but I think even the 1.5 inch lift changed the softness of the ride. Not a huge change...but noticeable. If I was going to do it again, I would probably pick up a set of Rancho or Billstein leveling shocks.

Perfect set up, Any side shots to see the wheel/fender look?

This isn't a great shot, but you can see the alignment with the body is just about perfect!

Definitely the look I want, but terra grapplers dont come in the 295/55/20. I think 305's wouldn't be to extreme, at least I hope.

EZ Money · April 20, 2015

You're right, the Terra Grappler doesn't come in that size. They have a 285 (way too small) and a 305. I think the 305's look huge. I don't think they would rub if you did the exact same setup as I have, but if they did you could easily trim the inner fender liner. Just a big tire!

Toyo is the way to go. I've been running Toyo tires on everything for the past 15 years. They have never done me wrong. I'd recommend them, and they are the same price point as Nitto...besides, at one point they were the same company.
