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
