2014+ Leveling Kits

[sandy.vallee]

Has anyone gone 295/60/20 on a 2.5" level and stock at 20s?

anyone know who or if it was possible to fit the 35x12.5 mud grapplers like the black all terrain had?

the 295/60/20 would be tight but you could do it with some trimming i'm sure.

 

I probably wouldn't go wider though if you're going that tall.

 

I don't have personal experience though. I am running 285/65/18 on stock wheels, not quite the same. Just going off of what i vaguely recall seeing on here.

Hey Folks

I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ Z71, crew cab. I recently installed a Zone leveling kit, 2 inches in the front, and stock suspension in the rear. Currently I am running 285/45/22r and hate the way they looks and for occasional off road performance, well, they suck.

I have been to an off road shop and they recommended running a 33 with 20" rims. I like the war that that looks but not sure how it would perform both on and off road compared to running a 18" with 33s.

I do not want to have them stick way outside of the fender because rocks will be thrown and chip the paint. I like the way that the fuel Hostage looks and it has good reviews. If i run a 18x9 I will have a lip that is almost 2 inches. With a 20x9 I will only get a 1.5 inch lip.

With either of this rims I want to run a Mickey Thompson Deegan 38.

Any advice would be great!

thanks

Just installed the Suspensionmaxx 1.5" level. Might go another 0.5 in the front as the kit can do anything from 1.5-2.5. Pretty easy install for just the 1.5".

295/60 on stock 20's is what most guys run to completely avoid rubbing. So you'll be fine. If you were to go to 305/55 then you would rub the sway bar at full lock, but still not enough to be a real problem. Many guys run that size as well.

Here's my 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain with a 2.5" leveling kit from ebay. Summit Racing was the distributor, nice all aluminum construction but didn't give me a full 2.5" of lift. I've run 2.5" leveling kits on 2 different trucks before and they've all given me a perfectly level truck except for this one. Wheels are OEM All terrain replicas +27mm offset in gloss black with 275/65/20 Duratracs. No rub once I removed mud flaps. Thinking about adding 1.25" spacers to get everything perfectly even with fenders

So, after the 18" or 20" rim debate awhile back, I went with aftermarket 18" rims.

2.5" Rough Country level, with rear blocks.

TIS 535MB wheels, 18 X 9, with -0- offset.

Atturo Trail Blade MT, 33X12.50X18.

2014 Silverado 1500.

 

Pics to follow.......

Well maybe not. Won't let me post pics, says the file is too large.

Post them to photobucket and then post the links from the photobucket files. Should let you from there.

Just picked up my truck from getting the RC 2" kit installed

 

 

Before Front - 36.50"

After Front - 38.50"

 

Before Rear - 39.25"

After Rear - 39.50"

 

Before lower edge of front air dam - 9"

After lower edge of front air dam - 11"

 

 

I might remove air dam still, not sure.

 

This is all with the stock 275/55-20 Continentals on original wheels.

 

I will be switching these out soon I'm sure. Love the look of it even more now. Still want it taller all around but dealer is threatening warranty issues if I do anything taller than this.

Local Chevy dealer is where I had the install done.

Did you do the 2.5" kit with a rear block?

No sir, I installed part # 1307 which is supposed to be front only, 2", for steel arms according to the website.

 

Here's my "After" pic. Needs wheels/tires BAD!!

Has anybody tried to run a 295/65/20 (stock wheels) on a 2" or 2.5" level?

[Ian-NH]

That's a 35". I'm about to do 275/65-20 on stock wheels and that's a 34" and I'm expecting rub even though most posts on here say they fit.

Any rubbing with this setup??? I've been looking at the same wheels and tires and have a motofab 1.5in leveling kit already installed. Thanks
