I've read this whole thread and have gotten some great info, so thank you for that. My question is two-fold, I'm going to add a MotoFab 1.5" leveling kit to the front. My 2015 Silverado has the stock 17 inch wheels on it. With this leveling kit, and what are the largest size tires I can run with that leveling kit and keeping the stock 17 inch wheels? I've seen a lot of answers for the 18 inch wheel, just nothing for the 17 inch wheels.

Clearance shot of 285/70-17 Terra Grappler G2's. Stock 17" rims. I'm leveled in the front. I've never had any rubbing even flexed in the mountains. This is without holding back the fender liner at all.

I talked with rough country yesterday for everyone that's running a 2" level and 17s. They say you can safely run a 17x9 with a backspace of 5.5-6.0 and an offset of +12-+25 And 285/70/17 Tires.

The tires are Atturo Trail Blade 275/65/18 and the wheels are Strada Off Road Monster Wheels 18x9 with a 0 offset, The tires stick about 1/2" out of the fenders.

Have any more pics? Down the side ? I really like how the tires stick out just a little its perfect

If you go with the front 2.5" level only, it will be completely level or very close.

 

If you want to see what your truck would look like with a 2.5" front level only and 275/70/18 on those wheels, just look at my gallery as it is exactly what I'm running right now.

Can you show me some pics of your ride? I'm new to this and you said view gallery to someone else and I can't find one

Is there enough stud length to run a 1/2" spacer behind the factory wheels? I'm looking at the readylift hub centric spacers for the front. It says they are required for thier 4" kit when using factory wheels, so I'm guessing they will work.

 

I'll be running 295/55/20 toyo extreme AT2s with stock All Terrain wheels and I know they will rub the a-arms.

This was it with the 2.5" front level and before I installed the 1.5" body lift. No blocks in the rear.

This is what it looks like with just a 1.5" spacer. Notice how it sits lower in the front.

**update** just order them.....Rancho has there 60th anniversary rebate get a $126 back on a visa gift card when order front and rears....

Ordered mine on Sunday morning will be delivered tomorrow. I'll be installing on Saturday. I think I got the wrong rear part number I ordered RS9000XL Part # RANRS999198. I think it may need to be Part # RANRS999197????

No rs999198 is the right part number. If you go to rancho website and look in the catalog it fits 2007-2013 trucks with stock height in rear which fit 2014 trucks.

Yup, just pulled up the PDF rs999198 is correct. Thank you!

Easy fix. Just do what I did. Order a 1" spacer from eBay that mints to the lower part of the strut, in between it and the lower control arm. That way, you don't have to pull the entire strut assembly out again.

As long as I can fit 285/75-17 tires on my stock wheels I'll just use the 1.5...

I have spent 3 days reading 179 pages I think I've finally decided on a 2.5 rough country front only with stock rear block, I want to run 18" fuel maverick rims with Toyo Open Country MT and I want my tires to be wide and to stick out just a little with NO RUB what size and offset should I run? I have a few sizes in mind below

275/65/18

275/70/18

285/65/18 <<

Thanks in advance

2014 Silverado 4x4

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
