2014+ Leveling Kits

[99-ls1-ss]

I finally got some new tires and was able to get rid of the crappy factory tires. I have a 2" Rough Country leveling kit on the front and a 3" block on the rear (which only raises the rear 1" since it comes with a 2" block from the factory).

 

I ended up going with the BFG All Terrain KO's. I have had a lot of luck with these tires. They are 275/65 20's. I think it really made the truck look better.

 

The pictures are a little dark. I should have taken them in better light.

Truck looks great but I thought the OEM rear blocks we're around 1"... At least that's what I thought mine were.

Got the 2" Rough County leveling kit, WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS TO INSTALL!! Started Friday night at 7pm and wasn't able to finish until 11am the next day. Obviously I slept in the time period. Probably 6 hours total. First, I didn't have the correct 7/32 allen wrench, you need to have one with a 90 degree bend in it to clear the half shaft boot. Second, the allen screw on the drivers upper ball joint was stripped from the factory and I couldn't get the upper control arm back on the knuckle!! Was about to go buy a new upper control arm until I decided to search the internet for a solution.

 

IF YOU RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM, use a C-clamp and clamp the upper control arm down onto the knuckle. This allowed me to put the ball joint nut on. I was them able to torque the nut down to spec. It almost turned into a nightmare job luckily it didn't.

 

ALSO, I didn't need a 16mm wrench and the lug nut size is a 22mm deep well, not a 21mm.

 

Question: the power steering connectors where super hard to get off. Once I got them back on, they were then really easy to take off. Did I mess those up?

As with anything it takes longer the first time. Should be able to do this in 1.5 hours tops on a floor jack and way less than that if you have a lift. As with alot of projects the internet can be your friend as you have found.

If you can slide the connectors off without touching the locking tab . You broke the locks. Otherwise you should be fine

Yea I think I broke the locks then. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Just added a 2" RC level and some new kicks. 20x9 fuel beasts on 305/50/20 nitro trail graps. Love how it came out.

No rubbing, trimming, rides really good actually. I was a little worried about the ride going to a lower profile, but I've been really happy with them.

I bought them used so I'm not positive, but it comes in +1 and +18 if I remember correctly.

I did the same thing. I've looked everywhere for new connectors and nobody has them. I'm just going to use silicone to hold them together. The thing is, you don't need to disconnect those plugs anyway. Found that out later. Pissed me off too.

Heh, that is exactly what I did. Put a glob of silicone on the outside to hold them on. Should be fine, I'm not to worried about it. I will check it at every oil change. They make liquid electrical tape, I might try that if the silicone doesn't work.

I went with a 2"level from Summit Performance on ebay. Solid powdercoat on aluminum lower spacer. With the 275/70 Cooper AT3's(not on in photos) it really has a great look

A friend from work just put a 2" level on his truck and used a block of wood under the strut and jacked it up enough to fit the level block in. He said only took about an hour total, said to be careful sliding the block in.

Here's my 2014 Silvu with a 2" Summit Performance lower spacer level and 275/70 Cooper AT3's
