2014+ Leveling Kits

cjz28 · April 10, 2016

Check your clearances in front of the tire at your UCAs. I'd bet they hit there too. Have your wife hold it to full lock or bungee the steering wheel to full lock...you can't hurt the electric steering. You won't be full lock often, so it's not a big deal if it's a DD. It's the off-roading and especially towing that lack of clearance gets you in trouble.

Nice looking truck. I don't like side bars either but need someway to get into the truck!

Thanks for the info I'll have the wife help me do that.

Yea it's a dd for now. Won't be towing anything either any time soon

It's not bad without those bars! Easier than my dad's old f350 anyway.

What tired and level package do you have? Did you install a rear block as well? Great look.

with the rough country 2.5" lift, does it matter the type of control arms (steel vs aluminum) when I order? Is there a specific kit for steel vs aluminum?

Pro Comp 2.25" Leveling Kit w/ Cooper Discoverer STT 33X12.5R20. No rubbing issues. Sorry for horrible picture quality.

Removed Front Air Dam:

Removed Factory Flaps:

After installing the leveling kit I noticed that the truck sits higher in the front. So I measured the front vs. the rear and found out the front sits 0.5" taller than the rear. I ordered Pro Comp 2" blocks and U-bolts. Which arrived today, and I will be installing those this week.

Very nice rig. I've got a 2014 High Country stock 4wd. I want a 2.5" kit without modifying the rear. Have you noticed any changes in the handling when pulling a trailer with the truck slightly nose up? Do you have any pics with the stock read block removed and the 2" block added?

Can you explain more on the topic of towing and the lack of clearance getting you in trouble?

Thanks, I have recently sold that truck. I will say after installing the rear block the truck pulled our boat much better. I don't have any pictures of the truck with the 2" block added, however, it only made the rear end of the truck only sit about 0.5" higher and wasn't noticeable at all. Which helped when pulling a trailer and not being so nose high.

I hope to be leveling out the new truck soon. I know have a 2016 Sierra Denali.

Go to their website and see for yourself.

2.25" ready lift level, 295/55 nitto trails

Do you sit high in the front or back? Also, did you add rear blocks in replacement of the stock blocks? Thanks

Yes it matters which u order. I can't remember the product code numbers though...

Just ordered RC 2.5 leveling kit. Plan on putting 285/65/R18 tires and method racing double standard wheels. What offset will i need on the wheels?

That size will work with stock offset (+24), so anything from +24 to 0 will work. -6 might work. -12 might be pushing it.

When you tow, you have to take your turns really wide which causes you to be at full lock a lot. Also, backing up a trailer requires a lot of full lock maneuvering.
