2014+ Leveling Kits

jgraves13 · May 8, 2018

That looks awesome! Going to do the same setup but with a 2" level until I can afford coilovers, and bronze NV with nitto g2s. Do you have any pics from the side? Truck looks great

Thanks brother! Motofab 2.5" level, rear is stock. BORA 1.25" wheel spacers. Toyo R/Ts 33x12.5.

Man, your trucks looks awesome! Perfect setup.
How much of a power/mpg hit did you take? Any rubbing?

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.

I have the 3/2 MotoFab kit on my 15 LT. I took measurements from level ground to outer fender lip. These pics are before I went up to 285/70/17. As you can see by the measurements I still have roughly 1” rake. I still need to get measurements since I got the bigger tires.

Before 3/2 level
RF 35 3/8
LF 35 3/8
LR 38 3/8
RR 38 3/8

After 3/2 level
RF 39 1/8
LF 38 3/8
LR 40
RR 40 1/8

I wish I had the factory 17's instead of 18's.

You went up to a 32.6" tire which is probably all you'll need to give it that balanced look. Pics with the 285's would be great.

I’m actually looking for the black Police Tahoe wheels to get rid of my shiny ones. It looks more raked because it’s on my sloped driveway.

That right there is the look I'm going for. Go up in tire size just enough to look right and to keep the mpgs close to stock. Ive got stamped steel control arms so Ima go with a 3.5" lift but with new knuckles.

Everything looks perfect

285/55R20 are smaller than 285/65R18 (by 1/3 inch tall)

check this out...that size is really close to 285/65R18...i think it would be fine...but as far as Duratracs...many people love them, I am not a fan...when I got my truck, I swapped them out for KO2s within a month...

I have 20’s, so I won’t be getting an 18” sized tire. Any one have input on 275/60/20 and the ‘look’ factor of them? Not a huge change from stock but enough from a side
Profile that I think it fills the wheel wells better than a 55 sized tire.

Thanks bud! I lost about 2 miles per gallon. I'm averaging about 16-17 now but on highway I get up to 21mpg. Very happy! Only rubbing fender liners on full lock and a little more in reverse. No big deal though, either go to trim or pin back.
