2014+ Leveling Kits

[Built2crash]

Eibach pro level kit (kit includes front springs and shocks and rear shocks) set at 2.5” it is very close to level. I think it’s about 1/2 higher in the back.

Can i get bilsteins that will raise the rear of my truck a inch? I already have a two inch level kit in the front and it has pretty much leveled it out exactly. I would like to add only a inch in the rear to keep a nose dive. i have a 2018 chevrolet silverado

Get a 2 inch block to replace the stock 1" block and a set of Bilstein 5100 part number 33-238319 for trucks with a rear lift of 0-2".

Nope. They have a range of 0-1” lift I believe

how do you like the ride?  there arent enough reviews on this forum for the Eibach pro truck set up...

[Built2crash]

the ride is good, much better than the stock ranchos. No bouncing, little more stable in the corners. washboard isn't as bad.

When I had my 15 All Terrain, I had a dealer installed 2.25 Readylift with 3” rear blocks. I was running 275/65-20 KO2’s with no rubbing at all. On my new 19 limited now, I will be installing the Readylift 2.25 kit w/upper control arms and 3” rear blocks. Again I will be running the same tire. Apparently the new stamped steel uca’s are junk.

When everyone is talking about 2" leveling kits, are the blocks actually 2", or are they 1" (which raises the front about 2")? 

I'm looking to raise the front as high as possible without too much ball joint strain (I was thinking 2" higher), and raise the back an inch higher

The front lower spacer is not proportionate to the lift height. On the rear it is but not the front.

There's a million pages of info on this topic but the bottom line is any lift in the front is going to put more strain on your ball joints than no lift.

Most people can agree that 2 inches is a "safe" height without replacing UCA's to correct the ball joint angle but you will find that some people raise it 3" and "don't have any problems" for years...

i called motofab to confirm this before ordering. they advertise based off the amount of lift, not the block size. 

 

i went 2" in front, drove it for about a month and decided i wanted 1" in the rear as well. It is super close fender measurements but still looks like it has some squat. the 1" rear should be perfect.

The Readylift kit, 66-3086, the upper strut spacer is 1.5” and the bottom spacer is .75”. This they say will give you 2.25”. My 19 limited had stamped steel uca’s and Readylift says they are prone to premature failure. Something to do with the balljoint.

[Vasa1]

My question is do you think it’s nesessary to replace the control arms? Will they fail?

[Kman731]

Perfect, thanks. I think I'll do the 2" front and 1" back

So the 2.25" was too much lift for the ball joints?

My truck was lifted to the max I think it had a 3” or 3.5” level kit “I bought it like that with 20x10 on 33s”, but I never had a problem with ball joints or anything...  I just upgraded to a full suspension lift maybe I got lucky...
