I put a Pro Comp 2.25" leveling kit and Zone 1.5" body lift on mine. Cost less than half the price of a 4" suspension lift and rides like factory still.

Man... That looks Tough! Very nice Stance! So do you know how much overall height you added after the tires, Body Lift and level? Tx Dan

My leveling kit just came in the mail today and I have some concerns with the Rough Country 2" Leveling Kit spacers being made out of a plastic type material. Has anyone had any issues?

No need to worry. They're super strong. I put almost 70k miles on my 2012 with the Zone Offroad 2" kit (which is the same material as Rough Country), without any issues at all.

I didn't measure before the body lift and tires, but it's 41.5" from the ground to the top of the fender now.

I'm sure this has been asked in here, but what is your height to the top of the siriusXm antennae if you're running a RC 2.5" leveling kit with 33s? I live in the city and my garage is going to be a tight squeeze once I level my truck out

Yes there is rubbing in the felt when i turn and on the sway bar but, i will be trimming some of the wheel well felt today but i still expect it to rub on the sway bar at full lock. I had this same set up on my 14 sierra so i know what to expect. Hope this helps

And yes only on a 3" level

Kind of a stupid question but maybe there's a reason. Why did you get the Zone 2" and not the RC 2" if it's the same material but $20-30 more?

Well, I wanted to lift the rear a bit too, so I went with the Zone 2" front/rear kit. It came with the 2" spacer for the front, as well as rear blocks and u-bolts. I ran that same kit on my 2009 (with Zone shocks), and had good luck with it...so I decided to run the same kit on my 2012. Zone has a good price on the 2" front/rear lift. Rough Country now has a similar 2.5" kit, but I didn't want to lift the front that much anyway. Either kit would be a good one.

Hey Guys,

 

Thought id add my 2015 Sierra Elevation in here as a first post!

 

Stock GMC 20" rims with 285/55r20 AMP Terrain Grippers

A 2.25" ReadyLift Front Level and 2" Rear Blocks

 

Fairly happy with the outcome!

I get a "creaking" noise from my drivers side when turning into drive way or sitting still and turning the wheels. It's done this from day one after I had my RC 2.5 level. Mostly when it has been raining or foggy. Had the shop recheck and tighten everything twice. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Driver's side front or rear? Front could be the strut. Rear could be the leaf springs. You may need a second set of ears.

I've been researching for a while and had an idea for how to level my truck, give the front a little more clearance, and still maintain the stock suspension geometry.

 

I was thinking I might lower the rear to level the truck out (lowering shackles, block removal, etc.) and then install a ~1.25-1.5" body lift to give additional clearance in the wheel wells. This seems like it wouldn't be very expensive and would be about the most inexpensive to get a little lift on the front and still maintain all the stock geometry.

 

I've been searching around but can't find anywhere where someone has done the lowered rear/body lift combination and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this and if anyone has seen this done before.

    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
    • from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
