2014+ Leveling Kits

Horacio · January 14, 2015

On the headlight aiming topic, all you need to do before getting lifted is close your garage door, mark off where your front wheels are with tape on the driveway and turn the lights on. Again with tape, follow the cutoff line on your garage door. Once lifted, put the truck back into the same spot and adjust one of the headlights back down to the original marking, counting the number of turns and then apply the same number of turns to the other side or until cutoffs match.

Done and done.

Yes, I do, as do many others here. This is the kit I have on a Crew with a standard box. There is also a difference between the Z71 package and Non Z71 equipped trucks so if you have questions just ask.

I have an all terrain with the Z71, so would the Rough Country 2.5" kit with the 2" blocks not work?

I believe the difference is in how much the kit will actually raise the truck. If I remember correctly the shocks on the Z71 are different and the front is a tad higher compared to the LT. So the starting height is different.

Not having a Z71 doesn't give me the personal knowledge of this but it seems it was covered somewhere in the100 plus pages in this thread.

Anyone with a Z71 know the difference please chime in...

But, to answer your question, yes the kit should work. RC customer service may also be able to answer this question.

Yeah, fair enough. I'll follow up with them and then post my findings here!

Thx dude

Just spoke with a guy at RC and there are no compatibility issues with the Z71

Hey guys, i've been through this thread once or twice a while back, looking for quick confirmation whether I'll be able to fit 33's + 20's on a 2 inch leveled 2014 with minor or zero modification, if not, would stepping up to 3in do the trick? Not 100% happy with the 2 inches anyway

I wouldn't go true 3" without new upper control arms. Even at 2.5 I'm debating new UCAs.

Out of concern for the ball joints or because you want to go off road?

5RWill · January 15, 2015

Ball joints and the angle. If you look at the stock UCAs at 2.5 they look like they're taking about all they can.

Ive looked through the whole thread, was wondering if anyone was running 295/55/20 with a 2" leveling kit with either +14 or 1 offset.

Not sure about a 2" level but AZGMCZ71Leveled is running 295/55/20 on Fuel Maverick 20x9 +14 offset and a 2.5" RCX level

Asells · January 15, 2015

Ya i saw his, looks nice. Not sure i want a 2.5" though.

tanner709 · January 16, 2015

Is anyone running RC 2.5" with 295/70/18 (34.25x11.6) or equivalent? If so please list your wheel specs, and tire brand, and/or fitment issues.

I really want to go a little bigger than 33, seeing as it's only a 1.5" increase but if thats all I can fit I'll stick to 275/70/18 and still have an acceptable MPG.
