2014+ Leveling Kits

Looks good! How long have you had it installed? Any rake still?

About 2 months, haven't measured to be exact but looks really level

Does it still ride pretty good?

So if I have just a regular 2wd I should get the steel?

I think so.

Just wanted to drop a post and give you the details. I threw the Rough Country 2" level on the front of my 2016 Sierra 1500 z71. Then went and picked up a set of 275/65/20 BF All Terrain TA KO2s. No rubbing.. would potentially rub the liner with the wheel cranked to the left if I was hitting some good bumps (think I will do the zip tie approach some others had mentioned before) I would have liked a little wider tire and also kind of liked the Cooper STTs but since it's my daily driver I chose to go with a smoother tire that should wear better and keep noise down.

Picturess may be out of order but I went from 36/40 to 38/40 so its not perfectly level but I think it's where I want it.

Truck looks great! the level makes such a big difference. Im adding a 2" rough country next weekend. Have you noticed a difference in ride?

The front seems stiffer going over speed bumps etc to me but nothing on my truck is really broke in as it only has 2k miles. I also added the bigger LT tires that replaced the soft stock tires so it was all to be expected. Outside of over the bumps it still feels fine to me cruising down the road.

I went to the dealer today just to see how warranty would be affected before I purchase a 1.5" level and 275/60/20 ko2s. He told me it won't affect it unless it's a wear item caused from the level. Can they not just say it was caused from the level? Then when I mentioned bigger tires he said he would be more nervous of the bigger tires hurting my warranty since I'm only running 265/70/20 right now. He then called me after to say he could program my truck for 275/55/20 even if I put on 275/60/20.

Just interested to know should I just stick with the 55 to not cause misery or just go with the 60s on a 55 program?

I'd way rather the 275/60/20

Also does this sound right about warranty or should I try another dealer?

Sorry I'm only running 265/70/17s now

Hello from Vancouver Island, opposite end of the country!. The warranty will not be an issue unless they can prove your changes caused the problem. I plan to have my dealer install my 1.5 level and new tires to reduce the opportunity for them to play the blame game. I am hearing that this size of level is pretty harmless. However, I've chosen to stick with 265's as my climbing ability (and that of my peer group) is deteriorating!

I had my dealer put on my 2" level and 275/70/18's
I'd say thats a decent way to go if you want to alleviate future issues with the dealership.

Costain44 · February 20, 2016

The worst is I have 2 shops that are within 10 minutes of my house that will do the work for 200$ less. Or drive over an hour to my dealer for more money lol. But if it will save me trouble its the route I will likely take. I may contact dealer and get all my work done at the shop near my home, then go down and get it aligned and speedo calibrated at dealer.

DPetry94 · February 20, 2016

I talked to my dealer about installing a leveling kit just so if I had any future issues they would be the ones that installed it. When I asked them if they install them they looked at me like I was crazy.

Good Lord, and don't put any weight in the bed either, it may change the geometry of the suspension. Edited February 20, 2016 by Guru
