2014+ Leveling Kits

['17 Sierra]

Installed. 2" RC level kit today. All I did was disconnect the bottom of the strut and loosened the ball joint and I was able to slide the level blocks in at the bottom. Took me 35 minutes a side. Anyone else install them like this vs taking everything apart?

Man I wish mine went that easy today. I could not get the upper ball joint free on the passenger side. Hammered the hell out of it and even tried a ball joint release tool (pickle fork) but never got it free. Brand new truck and I hated hammering on it like that too. Ended up putting it back together. Any ideas out there??

Mine is a 2015 with 9k miles on it. 4 good hits with a 5lb hammer and it popped out. I didn't take the nut all the way off.

Tie rod popped right off and probably didn't even need it off. I also used a 5lb hammer on the ball joint knuckle. I figured being so new it would have come right off.

My '16 passenger side was very stubborn as well, almost to the point of giving up. A 5lb hammer worked, but had to alternate hitting the knuckle from the the front and back. After about a dozen hits, it came loose. Driver side popped right out.

Try one hammer in the front and one hammer On the rear and hit it at the same time.

I have the Rough Country 2 inch level kit that will be installed sometime in a few weeks. My truck is a regular cab with 17 inch wheels and Dueler 265/70 a/t tires. I don't plan on getting any bigger tires anytime soon. Ill post pics when installed.

I have to figure out how to adjust the headlights now.

Forgot to take before and after pics but I'll post tomorrow. It's dark out. Tires are a bit noisy so I'm hoping they wear down a bit and quiet down. No rubbing of any kind and it looks awesome.

I installed front and back today, I think my alignment shop screwed me over,, they charged me an extra half hour labor to sync the steering angle,, sounds like a bunch of bs

My Federal make some noise which I initially thought it was a bit to much then I either got used to it or they wore out a bit; but the noise sounds lower and no longer bothers me. Also i increased the psi from 35 to 47lbs to help diminish noise and have less roll resistance.
