2014+ Leveling Kits

['17 Sierra]

Just got my 2016 all finished up a few weeks back - maintained about 3/4" of rake, but looks pretty level to the eye

 

Bilsteins 5100 all around

OEM 20" GMC A/T wheels

stock tires for now - soon to be either 33x12.5 or 295/55 (33x12) Toyo M/T

20% tint all around/50% windshield

 

Front - 2.5 inch (combination of bilstein 5100 set to 1.25 and 1.25 top spacer)

Rear - 1 inch (replaced 1.25 stock with 2.25) w/bilstein 5100

 

F - 39"

R - 39.75"

 

Picture is the day I bought it vs. how it sits today

Looks nice!

2016 GMC Sierra SLT Z71. RC 2.25 leveling kit on the front, stock blocks on the rear. Tires are Nitto Grappler 285/65r20. Stock rims, no offset.

I run Nitto Trail Grappler G2 LT285/50R22 which are 33.27" diameter on 22" Escalade rims with a RC leveling kit and have no issues. Next set of tires I would like to go with next size up LT285/55R22 which are advertised 34.37" and are cheaper.

Terra Grappler G2, I don't even know what's on my own truck.

Thanks for correcting.

Hey I just ordered a 2" Rough Country level kit for my 2014 Sierra z71, double cab. I already have 33x12.5x20 nitto ridge grapplers on the stock 20" wheels, no rub, pretty good rake. After looking at more and more pictures I am wondering if I should go with the 2.5" level kit. Is there any visible difference really between 2" and 2.5" front level kits?

Will I be happy with 2"? Or do most people with 2" and 33's wish they had 2.5"?

1) If you don't have rubbing issues then you don't need to have more lift

2) How do you not have rub issues with 33x12.5x20 at stock height??

1) I'm just looking to level out the rake and make the truck look better overall.

2) Not sure, these tires were on the truck at the dealership so maybe they did some fender trimming or something before I bought it. I didn't know 33's should rub on a stock truck since I bought it like this. I will look a little closer up under there and see.

When you say no rubbing, are you talking about with the wheels set perfectly straight? Because if you're never turning anywhere then I suppose it's possible to not have rub, but you probably can't get very far without ever turning... haha

Well I have made a few turns to the left and to the right since I've bought the truck and have yet to rub lol. So no rubbing.

33's on stock height is fine. The only thing that would worry me in the 12.5 width. I know that 11 width doesn't rub, but that extra 1.5 inch would be the only thing that worries me. All you would have to do is look on your wheel wells and UCA's to see if you can see any signs of rubbing. If you don't see anything, keep on rocking it.

2" is good enough to level out the rake.

I think either it has some sort of level under there that you don't know about... or you are rubbing on your UCA's or something and you are only looking at the fenders. It is not possible to run 12.5" tires at stock haha
