2014+ Leveling Kits


Recommended Posts

Dang it, yep, I was thinking of [mention=169808]SNAFU88[/mention] -lesson learned - don’t post while drinking at dinner.  LOL.

I’ve picked up on a whole lot of that going on, on these forums

Great pics!  I've always been a fan of white lettering on the tires.  This is definitely the route I will go if I buy black rims.  Still debating between black or bronze...

They may be closed for the holidays, try them back on Monday. They do have the shocks you want.

 

Unfortunately, I have had no luck getting a hold of them.  Didn't feel comfortable placing an order with a company that was this hard to get a return message from.

 

I was also curious about the color scheme of their coilovers.  The pics that you posted of your set look like they are more of a gray color, but the pics on CST's site look like they they are black with silver coils.  I actually prefer the gray, so that was another question that I wanted to clarify with them.

Not sure if I’ve already posted the finished results here.

Yeah I really like the look of those front coilovers.  Hopefully I will be able to connect with them at some point.  Have a feeling they won’t honor their Black Friday pricing, but it never hurts to ask!

Well, I gave you the #, try it out. I know on weekends they’re on skeleton crew.

I think I’ve read all 457 pages of this forum and I just want to clarify something. If I get the ready lift 2.25 level WITH UCA’s I should be good to run 275/60r20 on stock wheels without rubbing correct?

 

2017 Silverado crew cab with stamped UCA’s currently. 

 

Want to make sure I do this right and don’t go down a rabbit hole of lost money

Yes. I ran 275/60/20 KO2’s and they rubbed on stock wheels. With new UCA’s you should be good but call them and discuss it with them just to give yourself added security.

Just talked to them. No dice. Said the recommend a 1/2 inch spacer which I’m trying to avoid. Sounds like you can’t level these 2017’s and run a bigger tire on stock wheels with anything currently out there without another mod.

I had to buy new 20x9 wheels with a plus 1 offset which fixed the issue. You’ll also need to buy new rear shocks leveled or lifted. I ran Bilstein 5100’s.

This was the finished product 2.25” level with 285/60/20’s.

This is the current setup with a 4.5” CST lift and suspension. Rides just like stock, a ton better than the leveled setup I had. I will never level anything ever again without doing front coilovers.

Why do you need new rear shocks in the situation? It’s already 2-3 inches higher in back

That’s if you raise the rear as well when leveling.

Got it. Thanks for the info. Great looking truck btw. 

 

Anyone know if I just put a 1.5 spacer with stock wheels and tires  if that will work out ok? 

 

Im just trying to eliminate some of the extreme rake
