2014+ Leveling Kits

Northern Sierra · June 9, 2015

Has anyone experienced abs/stabilitrak lights coming on or problems with shift point after upping the tire size.

I'm looking at going with the 275/65R20 Duratracs 34" vs the stock 31" SRA's

stock offset wheels will rub the sway bar and upper control arms with anything over 285

Wha? My buddy has stock 20" with 305/55R20 tires on only a 2.5" RCX level.

ask him to check his sway bar and upper control arms. Mine rubbed with 305's and others have said their 295's rubbed.

I added 1" rear blocks. This gave my truck 1.5" of rake from the fender measurements. Cab measurements are now dead level.

What blocks did you use? Looking to do the same to mine as when I put anything in the bed it sags an inch or so.

Thanks. Is your truck leveled up front too? If so what size level did you go with? I've got the 2.5", just wondering how the 1"block in the back would compare to yours. For all I know you've got the same kit.

I have 2" rancho quick lifts in the front. My rear leafs had sagged about 1/2" beacuse of how many miles are on my truck. Yours will sit about the same just half inch higher all around. I have 1.5" of rake, you can compare by measuring your fenders.

Yeah you're right, you can see the rub marks on his sway bar on the driver's side and UCA on passenger side.

I've been running this size (34") for about a year now. No abs lights in that time. As for the shift points, I didnt really notice any changes there. I've been really happy with this tire size. It looks good and isn't so wide that it brings down your fuel mileage by much. It does change your speedometer reading by a bit though.

I literally registered to ask this exact question. Been reading this post for the last few days, and if I decide to pull the trigger on a 15 Sierra it's getting the leveling kit and tire package before it even makes it to 100 miles on the odometer. In the long run, I don't want something that won't fit in most parking garages in the city, or a personal garage when we finally decide to move.

At this point, it looks like kits are readily available for trucks with and without the All Terrain package, correct?

Your roofline should be OK, it's that "On-Star" antenna that will get whacked !

had a little break from the texas flooding weather to install my RC 2.5 level friday night and got the tires mounted saturday morning.

not the best pics but I LOVE it now...should have come like this from the factory.

level kit is RC 2.5

toyo open country MT 33x12.5x20

Love the look of your truck and i really want to do the same set up. Did the level and tires affect the ride or gas mileage drastically? Also, do you have any rubbing on the fenders, sway bar, or UCA? I've seen some post saying that 33x12.5x20s will rub the sway bar and UCA at full lock with the same stock wheels. They say you can't feel it but after inspection you can see where it rubs in pictures that theyve posted.

I bought the truck used with 20k miles and it was stock height with stock tires. I actually think it rides better - but i think a lot has to do with the new tires vs the factory tires...much smoother ride. Yet at the same time i can tell they are MT tires, kinda hard to explain. They are very quite considering they are a MT tire though - i am very impressed with that. As far as the level is concerned - i can't tell difference in the ride at all, just when i go to get out and its a longer drop to the ground ha ha.

Gas mileage was affected - how much?? 1-1.5 mpg is my guess...they are HEAVY tires compared to stock.

There is a slight rub/contact with sway bar - none on the UCA that i have seen. I try to avoid full lock steering when possible though. I will get pics later today.

What do you guys consider to be a reasonable price to have my truck leveled by a shop?

Also I was looking on RC site and they only offer 2/2.5" leveling? I thought there were 1 & 1.5" kits available as well, thinking 2"+ would give you the front end being higher than the rear. Or is to get you to buy the blocks for the back to fix that?

Sorry if these questions are common knowledge or sound basic, I'm trying to learn as I go

Thanks in advance
