Jon A Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 It's going to be a daily driver as well, only pulling a trailer on some weekends. Just looking to level it for the rest of the time Just one of the many reasons a set of airbags is a good addition for anybody who ever hauls anything heavy with these trucks. You don't need to drive around with 3" of rake all the time just so it'll be level when towing.
tcdawg Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) 2015 Z71 4X4 SLT Sierra RC 2.5" leveling kit with the under the coilover spacer installed. Still on the stock Goodyear SRAs. I plan on installing the spacer for the top of the coilover and replacing the factory rear block with the block included with this kit before I make a decision on the tires. 275/65-20 or 305/55-20 BFG KO2s? I like the height of the 275 and the width of the 305, unfortunately the BFG KO2 doesn't produce the size I would like in a 295/60-20. I drive 55 miles one way to work. Edited March 1, 2016 by tcdawg

For that kinda driving stick with a 275/60/20 and make sure its a P rated tire not L. Save some gas. 1

rhodeislandhntr Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) does RC make a body lift for our trucks, I looked but couldn't find it on their sight. I was thinking about doing the 2.5 RC level with a 1.5 in BL to run 305/70/18 or 285/75/18 on stock rims, any opinions on this setup as far as rubbing, thanks Edited March 2, 2016 by rhodeislandhntr

If you're driving over 100 miles every day, then I'd go with a more conservative tire size. Something like a 285/55/20 or 275/60/20 will give you a better stance than stock without killing your MPG and driving manners. Truck looks great! For that kinda driving stick with a 275/60/20 and make sure its a P rated tire not L. Save some gas. I agree 100%.
rhodeislandhntr Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks, when I put in 2015 chevy I couldn't find it, now to decide on what size tires for 18 in Stock rims http://www.roughcountry.com/gm-body-lift-kit-rc714.html Was suppose to be quoted to above post 1
DonkeyKiller Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Stopped by a local shop today to price a leveling kit and was told $400 + $100 for alignment. Is that the going rate? Sounds high to me.

It is either high or low depending on what you are buying and where you are getting it installed. For $500 (cdn) I can get a 2.25" Ready Lift kit installed and aligned at my dealership. I suggest shopping around as I have found a $200 price spread on basically the same work
DonkeyKiller Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks I'l shop it around. I was thinking around the $350 mark.
old coons Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Question: I just received these today 20x9 with 0 offset 33/12.50 tires, and I don't get my RC2.5 level kit installed until Monday. This Friday I have an appointment at the dealership to have them road force balanced, and was wondering if I could get by the weekend with having the dealer throw them on for me. Would just be a little in town driving, and currently I have 22x9 +15 offset 305/45/22 tires and don't rub. Thanks
old coons Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I am having the RC 2.5 kit installed Monday. kit+install+alignment=$446.95
