2014+ Leveling Kits

[SuperSierra]

Mine is a 2014 LT 4WD. Measurements are 38 5/16" rear, and 36" front. The 2.5" level will apparently set me nose high. Will it settle enough to be level or should I just get new rear blocks if I get the 2.5" front?

 

That's just the front

I just ordered a set of 2" spacers from Summit Performance on ebay. Really good price so we'll see how they work. If it's not enough I'll order the 1/2" top spacer.

I recently purchased a 2016 Sierra Denali. I want to level the front but the more I read I am less confident on what all I really need to do. I went to a local truck place today that sells truck parts and does installs and spoke to the guy there. He quoted me about 240$ to install a new set of torsion keys to gain the 2" i am looking at to level the front. My main question I guess is, is going the torsion key route any better or worse than say just adding the blocks under the suspension or any other way? Also, my Denali does use the magneride suspension so does anything need recalibrated afterwards or just an alignment and I'm good? I am just mainly concerned with dramatically affecting something that is going to have bad long term consequences. Especially with the magneride suspension, I just want to make sure that any sensors that need to be moved or recalibrated get taken care of correctly. Thanks for the insight.

Is your Denali a 1500? Because the torsion bar keys would only work on a 2500. The 1500s have used spacers since 2007.

I am getting the 2.5" suspensionmaxx installed on Friday, I know it has been covered a few times but I have held off on getting tires since I want to know the best (biggest) tire size to run without major trimming. Based off a few of the set ups on here I am planning to run 275/65r20 on the factory wheels (+27 offset) yet does anyone have any more insight on this? Would I be better off going a different route?

 

 

After receiving and reviewing the kit, I did not install the suspensionmaxx on my truck. The shims are flimsy cheap plastic, felt as if they would give just tightening the strut down. The kit has been sent back and I got a 2" Readylift kit in the truck now.

Torsion Keys will not work for your truck, you will need a lower front strut mount extension (some kits use upper as well). Some of the kits account for magneride and provide sensor relocation brackets, others you will need to have the system recalibrated. check out this thread for a better idea

And are you running a 2" rear block? Truck looks extremely slick!

I have a 2" RC Level if anyone wants it. Will sell it cheap. Was going to put it on my 2016 Silverado but traded it in last week.
