2.5" Ready Lift front only, but only used the top strut spacers and not the bottom. 20X9 285/55/20 Tri-Ace AT Pioneer III.

I have a level kit now with factory struts and shocks. Have 49k on them. What are others getting out if their stock suspension items? Looking at going with a fox 2.0 setup for front and rear to get a better ride. Mrt seems to have a great price so I will probably go with them. Is there anywhere else I should check before ordering?

I got it leveled on Friday. Thanks everyone for all the help while I searched for the setup I wanted. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here's a before and after.

Just installed mine from them. Fair warning, the fronts took over a month to get in, with ZERO help from MRT...I ended up calling Fox to see when the next batch of 2.0 coilovers were shipping out. Rears and everything else took under a week.

The prices are great, but MRT definitely buys from warehouses, not direct from vendors - so they will not know the ETA's until they actually ship. Communication is a bit of a problem.

Fox 2.0s are great though. Here's mine after the front coilovers and rear shocks/2" ILO 1" block. Brought the front up just over 1.5" and brought the rear up for 1". Measuring 37.7" in the front and 40" in the rear. Will be towing my boat soon, wanted to keep good amount of rake. Stock tires still, new rubber will come in winter.

I got my Kings coilovers and rears from AutoAnything at a price that beat MRT by a ways. That said, I couldn't get a response from MRT via forum PM to see if they would match it, then found out afterwards that it's better to email MRT because they respond quicker that way. Regardless, AA worked with me when I needed the Kings shipped to a different address during a move and they also worked with King to expedite the coilovers after they were notified of the shipping date slipping.

Did you pull your truck into the living room to put those on? Either that or you have wood floors in your shop/garage?

Haha no lots of 2x4s and some 2x6s - my dad uses this to drive his truck in the garage at the right angle.

If I'm trying to run 285/65's or 33x12.5 on 18s what offset could I run? Would I run into problems with a 0 or +1? been looking into +18 mostly so far. Running a '16 1500 with ReadyLIFT 2.25 level.

Thanks!

I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 High Country 4x4 5.3L

I'm putting on a 2" RC level this weekend and not going to touch the rear. I'm trying to decide on 275/65/20 or 285/65/20 BFG KO2's. Ive seen guys run the 275's no problem and only a few with 285's but mostly with RC 2.5" level. I'd like to run 285's if I can but don't want any problems off-road or over bumps or rubbing the sway bar, etc.

Im fine with zip tying the inner fender well but no cutting

I've searched far and wide for a firm answer but can't seem to find it

Can anyone help or have experience with the 285 setup on 2" level?

Which stock UCAs do you have? If aluminum or stamped steel (not cast) you'll rub the UCAs before you hit the sway bar. Generally on the stock wheels the limitation is the UCA because people want to go wider than they do tall.

Figured I'd throw up a few pics of my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 dbl cab with level lift, 20x9s, and 33x12.5 toyo r/t tires. Reused the ready lift 2.25 from my 2014 silverado on this so I could buy the wheels and tires I wanted now. Plan on bumping up to a 4" lift in the next 6 months or so.
