Ron505 Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) I just installed a 2" BDS Level kit, because I got it here in the classifieds for cheap. I may add another .5" at some point. Stock wheels and tires for now, with 2" spacers on the wheels. I'll be adding a Zone Add-A-Leaf (and put my cap back on), and 305/65-18's. Edited May 7, 2018 by Ron505
Nasty Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 So I need peoples input. I have found a temp setup so suit my needs for a few months. I'd like opinion 2.5" motofab level. Wheel is 20x9 +10 offset on a 33x12.5?

My offset is about +5 with spacers. You'll rub slightly more than me if you have a 16, 17, or 18.

MHardiman90 Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Just now, Nasty said: 16 regular cab You should rub liners but should also clear the upper control arms fine. Liners are easy, either trim them or pin them back. Good luck!

RHStansbury Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Has anyone done the Readylift 2.25" kit with UCAs on a 17 Silverado and run 275/65r20s? I searched and couldn't find that exact setup. Unfortunately, I have the stamped steel control arms and everything I read says they are trash with a level so I figure I should go with something that swaps them out.
Aaron1085 Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Alright so ... are 275/60/20 going to ‘look’ too narrow when I level? [emoji51]. Pretty set on this size as I feel it’s a good price and modification compromise. Leaning towards the Duratracs for daily driving (city:highway)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

03msc Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 So...I see people post (here and other places) shots of their trucks with 2", 2.25", or 2.5" and each will claim it sits perfectly level...sometimes I see a post of one with a 2" and I think it looks great then I'll scroll down and see one with 2.5" and think it looks great. I do not want my '15 Silverado Crew z71 to look like the front is higher than the rear. A buddy of mine said a 2.5" Motofab had his sitting perfectly level (by looks and measurement) but then I see Ron505's post of his 2" BDS and it almost looks like the front is slightly higher. lol All that to say...I'm not going to be disappointed with a 2.5" Motofab on the front, am I? I.e. it'll sit level? Stock wheels/tires for now...will go slightly bigger on tires when I replace 'em down the road. MHardiman90's looks great to me (looks level, etc.) but I guess I'm just on the fence and wanting to make sure I'm not going to show up when they finish installing it and regret something.

That's because in reality .5" from 20 feet away isn't noticable. I think you'll be fine with whatever you get! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
