Finally installed a Motofab 2" leveling kit on my shortbed two-door. Truck still has 1-1/4" of forward bias.

You have any more pictures? Can't decide if I want to lower or level my '16 regular cab.

Rough Country 2” leveling kit, 2017 Z71. Not the best picture.
It’s now about 3/4-1” high out back, a bit less than 2 full inches of lift. Got it done at a local shop.
It’s crazy how much of a difference it makes in the feel looking out over the hood. Definitely like it. No ride or drive difference, all good.

My 2018 Z71 4x4, this is my first post!
Just put the 2 inch level on yesterday, but I've already done the superchip programmer, Cquartz on the entire truck inside and out, tint on every window, 3 inch maganflow exhaust and 33 inch Nitto Trail grapplers. 2nd pic is before leveling kit just a better pic. Next mod on the way is a Gator bed cover! 05ab8cba26c7d4c67dad753c28ebff92.jpg5714d614ea64c53ea669ba3942b8fd30.jpg

How much rubbing do you have with the 295 width? Are your wheels a 0 offset?

I like the slight rake.  2" block in the rear - is that stacked onto the factory 1.25" block?

33x12.50?  Any rubbing?

Hey guys, I hate to be the will it fit guy but found a set of slightly used wheels and tires that are damn close to what I had planned on purchasing new and I'm wondering if they would work with my setup....

Currently running a BDS 2" level on a 2015 Silverado 1500, crew cab, standard bed 4x4.

Found a set of Fuel Mavericks wrapped in 295/60/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's. Wheels are 20x9 with a +14 offset....

What are the odds I could run this setup without rubbing? Don't mind trimming my carpet fender liners or removing the lower valence but I DO NOT want to have to trim or modify metal.

Just had my new 33x12.5R20s Haida Mud Champs installed and had the balancing beads thrown in. No running or trimming I also put my gatorback mud flaps back on as well with no rubbing. 20171023_173039.thumb.jpg.ffe2e41a2f4ebe6712c1cba1876e8aae.jpg

Out of all the pics i've seen, I think this look is my favorite. One of the other poster said it give it a beefy look. I'm sorry for the ignorance but if I wanted a similar look but not that big of tires, what would be the next best option. I'd like 20 inch rims on it but I just dont know too much about tire sizes and offset. I dont want any rubbing nor trimming.

    • Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.
    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

    • I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.    
    • My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
