Is everyone getting an alignment with a 2 inch level or is it fine to go without.I've seen mixed reviews but I'm just not 100% sure.

Get an alignment up front at a minimum. Costs like $50. Tires are 4 to 8 times that cost each [emoji4]

Ok sounds good. How hard is it to install the 2 inch kit can I just take the sway bar off and take the 2bolts out of the bottom shock and pry and strap up the shock some how or will I have a really tough time doing it that way. I am a carpenter so I understand how a lot of it works but I am not 100% sure on it

Just did the Pro Comp level 2.25 inches I believe it is and larger blocks in the rear. Ordered Toyo Open Country AT2 305/55/20 with Fuel Maverick +1 offset. Haven't seen anyone with this exact setup on here, but since I'm new to all this figured I would get some of y'all's expert help. Dealer said he thought there would be minimal rubbing if at all, do you guys think this is true? And how far do you think this setup will stick out past fender wells? I have 15 Silverado 1500 LTZ.

i did RC 2.5 level with 305 55 20 with 0 offset. Rubbed really bad on inner fender when turning sharp. Had to add zone 1.5 body lift to it

How did you put on a leveling kit with the sensors for the shocks on the front? Did your lift kit have lowering brackets for sensors? If so what are they and where did you get them. I have a Blue Denali 15 model I want to level. Thanks!

Rc leveling kit, 285/70/17 Mastercraft Courser mxt tires on rockstar II's, westin contour bull bar, iron cross step bars without steps on. Sorry its muddy.

Looks good! I like how the bull bar looks on it too. No need to apologize for a muddy pickup...it's a pickup haha.

Alright after reading the majority of this and doing some math, I'd like some opinions. I wanna raise the front of the truck and maintain the rake of the truck for hauling and towing.

 

Right now completely stock she sits at 36" up front and 38.5" in the rear. I will be putting 275/70R18 after this is all said and done which is a 33" tire. Stock is 31.5". So I'd be gaining .75" from the tires alone.

 

Well if I got with a 2" level from RC I should be 36+.75+2= 38.75" front and 38.5+.75=39.25" rear with a total of .5" of rake.

 

With 2.5" level with 2" block in the rear: 36+.75+2.5= 39.25" front with 38.5+.75+2-1.25=40" rear with .75" of rake.

 

With 2.5" level with 3" block in the rear: front is the same at 39.25" and 38.5+.75+3-1.25=41" rear with 1.75" of rake.

 

I'm thinking with the 2.5" front and 3" rear block I'll be able to achieve the height that I want. All measurements are done from ground to fender. But with a 3" block in the rear do I need to change out the rear shocks? I have no experience with level kits or anything like that, so I'm really guessing. Any thoughts? And if you got pictures of that set up that would be awesome.

After spending days reading this thread, I went with the ReadyLift 2.25" level kit. Everything is now 39" on my new 2015 Midnight Edition. Keeping stock tires and rims (just 500 miles on them).

Thanks everyone for all the info!

Looks good. What size tires/rims did yours come with? I want to lift, but also can't see throwing away tires I've already paid for. How did the ride change after your lift?

Thanks. Tires are 265/65 R18.

I can't tell any difference in the ride so far. That's why I went with the RL level kit since it has a top and bottom spacer to hopefully even it out. I'll see if mpg stays the same in the next few days.
