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 have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
