2014+ Leveling Kits

Criscone · April 16, 2017

Installed mine yesterday. Also 3/4" difference. Looks much better!

my thoughts exactly. i figured if i did the .5 spacer to make it 2.5" up front, id then have to do a bigger block in the rear. all to essentially gain .5" overall. instead i bought the 1.5" BL which effects nothing. super happy with just the 3/4" rake

On the 16+ trucks it doesn't go on top anymore. Two seperate part numbers now, and I've even called rough country to verify that. Stamped arms (16+) now get the spacer on top of coilspring, not on top of the strut top mount.

The spacer on the 16+ does not go at the top of the coil spring when disassembled. It goes at the bottom. I just did this on my 17 sierra. I still don't see how it lifts anything tho, as it's more or less for preload( tightens the coil up) I guess? But yeah it goes at the bottom when installed

They might be referring the 1/4 or 1/2in spacer that goes atop the coilspring assembly.

If it's the spacer from the RC 2.5 kit for the 16+ stamped steel lca's it's a round collar that goes at the bottom of the coil.

This is a new-ish variation. When I ordered my kit last fall the only variations were length of bolts for the lower strut blocks (cast vs steel). All of the spacers went on the top of the strut/coil assembly. I don't recall if these trucks have progressive spring rates or static. A spacer in the lower coil might make the ride harder.

I never did the spacer. I didn't like the cv angles, even if the popular vote said it's acceptable.

Good looking out sir.

I have 2017 Midnight, I just installed the ProComp 2.25" level kit on, I realize this is a common question, however, I am looking for a definitive answer, how big can I go with tires (stock 18" wheels) with out having to trim anything? Thanks for the input.

285/65R18 (32.6") or 275/70R18 (33.2"). Others will chime in, but I'm going for safe here.

So, I leveled my old '07 GMT-900 before I added my 6" BDS lift. Back in '09 I did the 2" RC leveling kit and added 305/50/20 Cooper Zeon LTZs with new wheels. I'm thinking about going with the same setup for my '14 Silverado CC. What do you guys think about that?

Depends on wheel offset. If you are doing a 20x10 with negative offset I would do 285/55 or 305/50, if 20x9 with positive offset I would do 295/55 or 33x12.50

I use 275/65-20 on +15 wheels. No rubbing.

20x9 wheels

MO92's advice is pretty spot on. Additionally the options given with positive offset wheels will fill out the wheel wells more. Some have even done 295/60/20 or 305/55/20 tires with a 2.5 inch level kit on OE wheels or aftermarket with positive offset. YMMV

Perfect advise for no clearance issues. The 285 will be a little shorter (but a little wider)...better look IMO.

295/65r18 will fit also and depending on the truck, might scrub a little, but nothing to worry about. Problem is that for A/T tires, you're option is just about only the GY Duratrac.

Some people are running 295/70r18 but the biggest issue is rub on UCA and Swaybar when turning. You need about 1/2" spacer with stock rims to effectively run this tire and possibly trim or tie-strap back some carpet. This size tire is better left for 4" of lift and 0 offset rims.

So have you tried searching to get the answer of this common question? The definitive answer is out there with more info than you will get in here.

I think it is your truck and if you like it then do it. Personally I would stay away from 20's and go with a better tire (not that Cooper is bad just that tire tries to be a sports/at tire) that does not start with KO but again it is all what you like.

I had BFG KO2s on my old truck, they're a great tire. Just really not needed in the setup I'm gonna do. Pretty heavy too.

So, I may do Nitto Terra Grapplers G2 or Coopers. Really can't decide. I was thinking about these wheels. What y'all think?
