2014+ Leveling Kits

Here's mine. 2.5 kit with 275/70/18s

How's are those BFGs in the snow/rain? I'm interested in those (same size as you have 275/70/18) but noticed that they are not rated for severe snow whereas most other BFGs are?

I just installed RC 2.5" on 2014 silverado z71 and put 275/65/20 goodyear wrangler duratracs on. I think they are 34.2" tall. I love the look and setup. I rounded off the wheel well liners slightly with a coping saw and no more rubbing. In these pictures I didn't have the rear block installed yet.

Can anyone chime in on the 2.5 rc level with adding the 2' block in rear on stock 20 wheel and tires..will I rub?

With a 2" block in the back on stock 20's and tires? No you won't rub…

Got a question. I installed the Bilstein adjustable shocks. I went to the highest level and it did what I wanted. My issue is for some reason I can seem to tighten the top strut bolt. It just keeps turning. I know I have to hold the shaft but since you cant hold the shaft and use a torque wrench.

When is tight enough! no noise or anything.

Justin 283 have u noticed a significant stiffer ride with your duratracs? I just installed 275/60r20 today and it felt like I noticed every bump in the road. Mine aren't even 10 ply. Maybe I was just looking for it.

2014 GMC Sierra SLE 4wd crew. Went from stock suspension on factory 255/70r17's to rough country 2.5" leveling kit on factory 275/45r20's

Have not had chance to get new measurements.

It's 70F and sunny here...but those pics make me want to stay inside.

No I haven't really noticed any stiffer ride, maybe slightly but not too noticeable. It amazes me the height of the truck now just from 2.5", hoping in the truck, sitting in the truck. I love it

Here's my bone stock 2015 Sierra All-Terrain "before" pictures for reference. Plans are 2.5" RC kit up front, gonna leave the stock blocks in the back. I'll swap for the RC blocks if I have less than 0.5" rake or looks "nose high".

It's also getting 295/55r20 (33x11.5) Toyo AT2 Xtreme tires on stock 20's and black Bulletproof offset mud flaps. Should be done after the weekend, I'll report back with "after" pictures and measurements.

Here's a little bit of an update, got the Rough Country 2.5" kit installed up front and the 295/55r20 Toyo AT2 Extreme tires on.

Decided to leave the stock blocks in the back for now, had the shop send me a couple pics and take a few measurements.

Currently sitting at 39.5" up front and 39.75" out back from ground to center of fender.

I'll give it some time to see if it settles and if I change my mind I can easily swap the rear blocks.

Just have to get the BulletProof offset flaps on, tint the front windows and get the front bumper PPF installed.

Well I finally got the truck home and had time to take a few pictures. The weather is pretty crappy here so the truck didn't stat clean long. I'll take some more on a nicer day on flat level ground.

Truck has 2.5" RC level kit up front only, stock rear blocks. Fenders measure 39.75" up front and 40" out back. So it still has 0.25" of rake, but depending on which angle you look at the truck it can look "nose high"

Tires are 295/55r20 Toyo AT2 Xtreme on factory rims, no rubbing at all and they're quieter than I expected on the highway.

BulletProof flaps are still full length, I have the option to cut them down but I'll give it some time first.

Windows are tinted 35% up front, and front end has 3m paint protection film.

There's a little too much chrome for me on the side, might swap for color matched handles/mirrors and remove the running boards eventually.

Very nice truck sir ^ makes me wish I got black. I swear it's a love hate thing with that color haha..

Anyways, might be a longshot but any guys running 33's with 2" spacers on stockers? I know the 33's will clear on stock wheels with a leveling kit but not sure how much of a difference those spacers will make.

TXSierra507 · January 21, 2015

I am running the 2.25" Pro Comp Kit up front, 2" Pro Comp Block and U-bolt kit, and 33X12.50R20. Stock Denali wheels.

For a brief period I ran stock 22x9 +31 wheels 285/50R22 tires which is bigger than a 33, with 1.5" wheels spacers on a 2.5" level and didn't rub.

It's not exactly what you wanted but close

In the near term I'm going to take my lift off and put it back closer to stock. I'm on the fence about doing oem 22s + 1" wheel spacers 285/50R22 all terrains on 3" of lift or doing oem 22s +1" wheel spacers 305/45R22 Nitto 420s on 2.5" of lift
