2014+ Leveling Kits

440hsp · August 22, 2015

Leveled today with Fox Coilovers. Also added rear fox shocks, 20x9 Fuel Assault +1 offset, 275/60/20 BFG KO2's, and a custom dyno tune

Does it ride better than the stock rancho shocks that come on the z71 package?

That looks really good! I bet it rides like a dream now.

It sure does. Much more composed than stock. I only put about 50 miles on it since I picked it up today. I plan on taking her out tomorrow and pushing to see how significant the difference is

Absolutely better. I have the all terrain edition which includes everything in the Z71 package and I'd say the Fox is a huge step up. I plan on pushing it tomorrow to really see.

Where did you purchase the coilovers?

Doing my first ever level next week. Is it better to do shock upgrade when put level on or can it be done (relatively) easy at anytime? If the 2.5" level makes the ride real harsh may have to look into adding fox shocks on rear

I had a 2.5" RCX level installed on my truck after first bought it and I opine, the ride quality to me really didn't change very much. So I would just install the kit first and see what you think before potentionally wasting money on shocks if they aren't needed.

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!

Was this the 66-3085 kit from Readylift you installed? I just also took delivery of a '15 Midnight Edition Crew Cab and want the same look as yours.

I was thinking about going with the 5100 Bilstein adjustable shocks to level my 2014 silverado z-71, the info I found on them says they provide a 0-2.5 inch adjustment in ride height. Any info would be appreciated.

They are 0-1.8" sounds like most people get 2" with them but I tried to order some about 2 weeks ago and a few places told me they are back ordered until end of October if you find some let us know good luck!

Thanks for the info, z-71 chevy. I will let ya know if I find some.

I don't mean to ask stupid questions... But is the billstein setup better than doing an RC kit? Ride was and cost wise? This is my first truck and I'm trying to not screw it up lol. Your truck has the setup I'm looking for!!

The issue is it cost more and they are on back order. So you have to factor that in to what you think is better. Guys with bilatein will have to comment more though

I just ordered a set from autoanything. The rep I spoke with said that they had very few left, but assured me that they did have some in stock. I guess we'll find out.
