2014+ Leveling Kits

qb6fire · April 21, 2015

I second the thought of Toyo tires. Had them on my Tacoma and loved them. Buddy currently has them on his 2010 silverado and he loves them too.

Nitto is a niche company under Toyo still. Same rubber fellas. Thats why both tire brands are so awesome.

I know this has probably been answered before, but is it possible to run 33"x12.5" tires on a 2" leveling kit with the stock 20" wheels? Anyone have pictures they can post? I don't really want to trim, so any issues with rubbing?

Yeah you dont have to worry about trimming, but it will rub the UCA/swaybar.

Thanks for the info

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.

Thanks for the info. Just went ahead and ordered the RC 2" for the front. Hopefully I'll get to them tonight, if not definetly this weekend. Then it will be time for tire and rims.

What size tire could I fit on my truck with the Bilstein shocks set at the 1.25" front setting? I have 20" wheels.

I'm thinking overall the same height as stock but with some added width.

Anyone have thoughts?

I'm thinking a

285/55-20

295/50-20

Got my Rough Country 2.5 leveling kit on, front only and truck is perfectly level. Looking at some Moto Metal 962 20x12 wheels with 33x12.5 tires. Anyone put these wheels on a 2015 sierra z71 or chevy equivalent? The offset on the wheels are -44. Any advice would be great.

Both of those will work fine IMO.

I have my front end raised the same amount as you and I just put on 275/60 20's and they clear with room to spare for height and width.

You might already know this site exists but if not it's pretty cool.

Yea thanks. I used that site to find similar tire sizes. I was more concerned about actual fitment. I dont want to rub at all.

Good deal.

Yeah I didn't want any rub either and they don't. Your two choices should clear no problem.

I'm pretty sure those are going to rub like crazy. That negative offset is going to be the issue.
