2014+ Leveling Kits

EChavez · June 30, 2015

Picked up a new 2015 Z71 GMC crew cab 4x4 today. Front measures 36 1/2, rear measures 39 1/2. At what point on a leveling kit would new UCAs and/or a diff drop be required? Looking at the Bilstein 5100s set at next to highest setting or a 2" spacer.

Anything above 2.5" I believe. You don't want to go any higher than that without replacing your UCA's.

To those that have been leveled for a while, is your ride quality notably affected? Been considering leveling my 2014 LTZ Z71.

I've had mine level with the 2.5" RC since last November and can say I see no difference from when it was still at the stock height.

Thanks for the input. Did you do the rear too? If so how high in the back? z71 chevy's truck above looks great with just the front done.

Also, did the 2.5" RC kit affect the front enough to require an alignment?

Any levelling kit is going to require an alignment. Anytime you do anything to the front suspension of a truck you need to do an alignment…

I put the rear block that came with the 2.5" Level/Lift kit. The shop that installed the lift did a wheel alignment as well.

I went with the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks and the ride is about the same. It might be slightly stiffer but, that has more to do with running higher pressure in my tires than the shocks not performing.

Is there any update on level kits for the 2015 denali with magnetic shocks.

Guys are doing it, you have to move the sensors

RC 2.5" on my 2015 Sierra SLT, had to drive it down a curb to see if the steps would scrape (they didn't)

Just got done putting on my 1.25' Body lift & and 2' Leveling kit from RC this weekend. That wax dipped frame on the truck sucks a$$! I've been yelled at several times this weekend, for getting it all over the house by my wife?, anyways I think 33's are next on my to do list.

Body lift @ leveling kit

I wish I could put better quality pictures on here, i'm probably doing something wrong.

How much of a pain was it to put the body lift on? I am currently running the Pro Comp 2.25" Leveling Kit, 2" blocks in the rear, and 33X12.50 on the Denali wheels.

My thoughts are if I put a body lift on I can run 35s.

Being that it it was my first body lift I've ever done, and I was the only one that did it, it took every bit of 6 to 7 hours, but if you can get someone to help you it will make life a lot easier. Also that wax coating on the frame gets everywhere, but I'm happy with it.

Also got a look at the price difference between the suspension lift in a body lift, that's the reason why I did it, and it doesn't change the ride quality. Also the gap is so minimal you can hardly notice it unless you are looking for it. To me it looks like a 2500
