Here is my 17 Sierra Elevation with a 2" level I got from Amazon (aluminum blocks for under the struts) and Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/60/20 on stock wheels.  I can turn lock to lock with no contact to the liners, but I suspect under load it will rub a little.  It does hit the sway bar at full lock, but not too bad.

do you have stamped steel UCA or cast steel?

 

im looking to run a 2" level on my 17 sierra with stamped steel UCA, just wondering if i would be fine with 295/60/20 on my stock rims as well.

Mine are stamped.  I don't think there is any interference with the control arm?  The tires rub the sway bar at full lock, and just barely touch a spot on the fender liner.  I have put about 600 miles on them so far.

Just had a zone 1.5" body lift added to my 2.5" rc level kit.  Turned out great looks mean but still need a beefier tire and bora wheel spacers or some new wheels with an offset but not too aggressive. 

 

Sorry not the greatest photo yet. Damn snow.

2.5 in level on my 15 SLT.  It sits exactly how I want.  Now for bigger tires.

I have a 17 Denali with the magneride and want to keep my 22's.  Im looking at about a 2.5" level.  Which lift is better for the control arm angles;  2.5" spacer on top of the coil spring, and 2.5" spacer on the bottom shock mount, or a combo of the two?  There aren't a lot of options for the magneride.

Won't be any different as far as the arms are concerned.  Longer overall shock length either way.

Ditched my 275/60/20 Toyo AT and put on 285/65/20 Toyo AT2, minor trimming and fills the wheel wells so much better, running a 3” leveling kit with rear block removed.

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if I could get some advice, please excuse any stupid questions.

I am looking to install a level lift on my 2016 Silverado 1500 LT, I was thinking about either doing 3" front 2" back or 2.5" front and 1.5" back.  I am in the market on getting new wheels as well,  How big can I go without rubbing (33?)?  I tow a pontoon (~3000 lbs), does the level lift impact towing at all?  I still want to park in my garage, will I be able to fit with either of the lift combos along with the bigger tires (standard 2 car garage, 7 ft tall)?

I was looking at using the below:

Wheels - Hostile Sprocket (20") or XD Series XD820 (20")

I have been looking at a lot of different forums and it seems like everyone has their own opinions, just looking for some constructive criticism/advice.

Thanks in advance.

Installed the Rough Country 2" Leveling Kit on my '18 over the weekend. Loving it so far. The picture really doesn't do it justice. The difference is immense. It looks so much better now. My wife says it needs bigger tires now. Who am I to argue?! LOL.

thinking about doing the 3 front and 2 rear as well. curious to see what others say

Just put a rough country 2.5” level in the front only and got some new wheels/rubber. Running pro comp 34 Rockwell with 295/70/18 Terra Grappler G2’s. It turned out pretty well I think. Although, I might install the rear block sometime this week. Tires rub slightly at full lock but I’ll get around to trimming that soon.

Installed 5100 Bilsteins with 2" Level and 305/55R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2. The ride is better than Stock which was really good, this thing is super smooth and quiet quiet quiet! I also added 8mm spacers to ensure no rub and I did not have to trim anything. One thing I think folks need to consider is doing a performance balance on their tires and I am absolutely not talking about Roadforce. We took Static down to under .05oz and Dynamic to under .10oz a tire and this thing rides like butter. I am super happy with this set-up!

    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.     
    • Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    • Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
