I'm running 276/65R18 Terra Grappler G2s that the dealer put on my truck when I bought it without a level....no issues. Some are running the 275/70r18 and the 285/65R18 without a level, but that would be pushing it.

I had 285/65/18's on mine without a level and it was fine, but it was really close to having to trim some stuff.

I have 275/70/18's with a 2" level on right now and haven't had any issues.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Funny, know one has tried this set up, maybe someone that has will chime in. Either way I plan on running an RTX rim, not stock. It's just it will likely be another few weeks too a month before I can post pics, I'm waiting for the spring weather too hit. Thing is I plan too purchase my set up this week.

 

Know of a guy running 2 inch on his Silverado as well with 275/65/20 and hasn't rubbed a bit since. I don't know much about this kind of thing, but figured an inch difference in diameter and half inch on the lift,things should equal out,maybe,lol

 

I'll post pics as soon as the snow goes and it's giving +8 Celsius tomorrow

Until then any info relating will be helpful.

Thanks

I finally got my 2014 last weekend and quickly realized that it needs a leveling kit. The center of the back wheel well measures 39 1/4" and the front is around 37". I'd like to find a leveling kit that doesn't mess with the back at all, anyone have any recommendations?

 

i recently just bought the 2.25 leveling kit from supreme suspensions on my 15 GMC Sierra 1500. awesome product

Is there a thread on 14+ leveled trucks with body lifts? I thought I saw one awhile back but I can't find it now. I'm ordering my body lift kit and would like to see some pics. Which should I get? I did see the Zone 1.5" but that the only one I saw.

I have one quick question. I'm wanting to install a leveling kit on my 2014 crew cab. I'm looking at the Rough Country 2 in. because it's on sale right now.

 

My question is is that all I need to level my truck? I'm new to the truck modification world just making sure I'm doing everything right.

I have the 2 inch RC level on my truck and I sit 3/4 of an inch higher in the back than in the front. Every truck is different but I am happy with the way mine turned out. I didn't want to be super nose high every time I put something in the back or pulled a trailer so it worked out well for me. Best way to get want you want in height is to measure your wheel well height and decide how much you want it to raise the front, then go from there. (1.5, 2, 2.25, 2.5 etc.) You will also have to get a front end alignment after installing any lift to prevent premature tire wear. Here's my build, hope this helps..

Also make sure you get an alignment after you install the level

Do I want the aluminum or the steel? Any difference in one vs. the other?

 

Well the option is there depending on if you have the aluminum or steel control arms. If you have a z71 it should be aluminum control arms. If your not positive go out and take a magnet off your fridge and see if it sticks or not (will not stick to aluminum). The only difference is the length of the bolts between the two. (the bolts for the aluminum control arms are longer) Hope this helps.

Anyone running the zone 2" level? I'm not sure how I feel about it not being metal. Also looking for some input on whether to go with a 2" or 1.5". I want a small rake still for when i do tow, but mostly level. From what I've read it seems like a 2" would be good, but I have also heard from some the a 2" made their truck slightly higher in the front.

I realize that this question has probably been answered in the 200+ pages of this thread but i couldn't find it in the 30+ pages i looked through.

 

I was wondering if i could run 295/55/20 toyo AT2 with fuel mavericks and 0 offset with no rubbing on my 2015 sierra crew cab with the 2 inch rough country leveling kit?

 

Or possibly the toyo MT on the same setup with no rubbing

So if I have just a regular 2wd I should get the steel?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
