2014+ Leveling Kits

[GoBlue2014LT]

Ok. So 285 is slightly wider than the 275?

I’m wondering what’ll be more cost effective. A 285/60/20 or (as shop recommended) a 275/60/20. Maybe they said 65...?!

Yeah a bit wider - This helped me learn how to read tire size. The 285/65 or 275/65 will be 34”+

The first number is width in Milimeters. The second number is a ratio of the width that gives you height. So a 285/70/17 will be both taller and wider than a 275/70/17

Hey guys,

 

Currently running a 2” BDS level. I know it’s only a 1/2” but I’d really like to go up to 2.5” total...

 

As near as I can tell my BDS kit is a preload shim and a strut top spacer.... would I be okay with either replacing the strut top spacer with a thicker one or adding a spacer to bottom strut mount? And if so what thickness would I need? I’m not exactly sure I understand the math behind the spacers thickness vs what it actually lifts

 

Edit: would something like this be okay to add on into addition to what’s already there?

Looking for some advice.... I just picked up a 2015 Silverado 1500 the other day and the leveling kit, wheels, tires are going on next week. I won't be using the truck to tow often but I'll have a couple dirtbikes in the back ocassionally. When the truck will have a load I'd like to keep the leveled stance. Has anyone put airbags in the back just for this type of application? If so any pros or cons? I'm not looking for an elaborate remote system or anything just a very basic setup if there is such a thing.

 

Thanks in advance

New here guys, hi . Here’s my black 16’ silverado... just installed the 2” RC leveling kit but I’m not happy with the results as it’s still got some rake to it (I want true level). Anyone recommend a good 2.5” leveling kit? 

 

 

Leveled it and added the oem Sierra 20” wheels

I'm feeling the same, I did the 2" as well and it doesn't look bad but I want more lift

I just want a level. So, results are that the 2” Rough Country level does NOT make the truck level?

Any 2” kit won’t get you perfectly level. Close enough to most, also depending on what’s in your bed and your individual truck.

I haven't taken measurements on mine yet but I went with the 2.25" Readylift level on the front and it looked nose high to me. I have since added an inch taller block in the back to give it a slight rake.

I don’t haul much. Usually just around town, some lumber, trash, etc.

Curious, What’s the offset on your Mavericks to fit that 34” tire?

The offset is +1. They rubbed on the carpet material in the wheel well but I trimmed it back, did not have to trim any plastic or metal
