gambler1 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Looks good. What brand tire? and what brand wheel and offset? 20x9?, 10? No rub?
Isidro____ Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I own a 2016 Silverado, and it comes equipped with lane keep assist and forward collision warning systems. My question is, will adding a leveling kit affect the functionality of the systems? Has anyone had any issues, or have you had no issues at all? Thanks in advance!

I was concerned about the exact same thing. The answer is no, it will not affect either one one of those. I installed a 2" leveling kit last weekend and checked all those things and they work perfectly. 1

Isidro____ Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Does anyone know of any good shops to get a leveling kit installed? I'm in the Phoenix Arizona area. I want to know that the job will get done 100% flawlessly.
spartantx117 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Ok. I know this has probably been asked and probably even beaten to death.... But I have a 2015 Silverado I bought a few weeks ago. It is 2 wheel drive. I am thinking of a 2in leveling kit on the front. I am wanting to keep this truck for a long time and was wondering if there are any down sides to doing this? I am just wanting to take out the rake but don't want to lower the rear. I will need a alignment correct? Any long term effects on the front end with only 2 inches? Also any particular kit better than another? Thanks for any input.
Shredder15 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Really want to know if safety with wheel spacers is really a concern. I'd like to put 1.75" spacers on my 2015 (after leveling it) because I really like the LTZ chrome wheels. Some say unsafe, and most shops won't work on the truck, etc. Anyone have any words of encouragement with spacers, such as BORA?
Sidewayz Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Anything over 1/4 inch spacer is not recommended. It's unsafe and I'd never use them. Wheel adapters and spacers imho should never be used.
GMCaholic Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Got rid of my 14 sierra and got the 16 model now. 3" level went on today and tires will be on tomorrow. Here is how it sits now with stock tires (Old toy) (New toy on the left) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4

Any higher than that is questionable as it reduces the travel of the front suspension too much. If you do go higher than 2", you'll want to add the additional spacer at the top of the strut as opposed to the bottom. The spacer at the bottom reduces downward travel and it's best there as opposed to the top of the strut which reduces upward travel. The kits that give more than 2" are split between upper and lower with 2" on the lower and the additional at the top. I went with 2" Rough Country. Relatively easy install and a lot of guys on here have as well. Edited January 28, 2017 by '17 Sierra 1

I'm going to go with the 2" Rough Country spacers. I figured I'd buy the part and whatever I was going to spend on labor, I would just spend on tools haha your replies are very much appreciated my friend!
