2014+ Leveling Kits

TRG · March 22, 2018

I'm having the ReadyLift 2.25" leveling kit installed and know that I need an alignment after that is completed. If I decide at a later time to replace the stock block in the back and raise it a bit, is an alignment needed for just raising the back? I'm thinking "no", but am not certain...

No need to align the back

Nice! Did you leave the stock block in the back and if so, do you know what the size of that stock block is?

I left the stock block.

Thanks. Do you or anyone else happen to know if a diff drop is needed for a 2.25" level? From what I've read, it seems that is really only required when you get up to 3" level, but looking for some additional opinions.

I have the 2.25 Pro comp. It's the exact same as the Ready lift kit but cheaper. Same materials, same install. Top 2 inch spacer, bottom 1/4 spacer. No diff drop required.

It doesn’t hurt and can solve some high speed vibration and cv binding issues.

Thanks - what are folks using for diff drop kits that have yielded good results ? I see a bunch out on Ebay, but that's about it...

Having my dealership install a 2.25" Procomp leveling kit in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to getting rid of the rake as I don't tow much at all.

Just got the ReadyLift 2.25" leveling kit installed and replaced the the stamped steel UCAs with the ReadyLift tubular UCAs. Stock block in the back. Stock wheels/rubber (Bridgestone Dueler A/T 285/45/22s)

I just purchased the Rancho Quicklift leveling struts for my 2018 Silverado. I opened up the boxes and noticed that on both struts there are wear marks that have completely worn through the the powder coating and bare metal is showing on both springs. One strut has three areas where it rubbed through and the other has two on it.

Is this a normal issue or is this something that I should bring up to fourwheelparts.com where I bought the struts from? I don't see this affecting the performance of the struts, but having bare metal concerns me for the longevity of the part.

I would say send it back and have them send you a new pair

I believe rough country sells one, might have to contact them directly I don’t believe they offer it online. But you’ll be getting the same things as those eBay kits offer. Four donut shaped spacers and some hardware.

Ya - I didn't see anything online for them, but will give them a call. Thanks!

Bought my 2017 Sierra SLT All Terrain in January. Installed a 2.5" motofab level and 33x12.5 Open Country RTs on the stock 20s. Rubbing upper control arms at about 25 degree wheel turn. Ordered BORA 1.25" wheel spacers. Hoping this will correct my rub!

So what’s the deal .. are people doing a 2” or so in the front and adding 1”’to the rear (meaning a new 2” block). I say that because isn’t that already a 1” block in the rear?
