2014+ Leveling Kits

[never_rested_24-7]

Planning on buying the RC 2" front levelling kit for my Silverado LTZ, but it asks for aluminum or steel, which should be chosen for my truck?

Thanks in advance!

Does your truck have aluminium or steel control arms? Take a peek if they are black you have steel of they are silver in color they are aluminium.

A quick google search said they are aluminum, but I just went out there with a flashlight to check the color, and what I'm pretty sure are the control ares, are black.

I've been thinking about leveling mine, but not sure which type. Lower or upper strut mount. I would probably pay a little extra for upper metal ones since the lower spacers I've seen are plastic.

 

I may not even level it. My old 98 was and the only bad thing wa when you put enough weight in the bed or towed a heavy enough trailer it would look like it was dragging ass. So I would probably do 2" up front and maybe just 1" on the rear.

it seems some trucks are differant then others ,some rub with 305s some dont ?

 

It depends on**:

Tire selection - measurements vary ever so slightly depending on who makes the tire, tread design and more. If you go on a tires website and look at specs, it will give you the specific measurements.

Wheel Offset - the closer to 0 offset and into the negative numbers, the less tire you will be able to run for a given level.

 

**If I'm off on my info... please correct me.

 

I know that's not the best answer, but hopefully gives some insight. Best bet is to find a setup you like and find someone that has that setup. Or find a nice shop that is willing to order a couple different sizes to actually try them on and test them on your truck.

2.25 pro comp leveling kit and pro comp pro runner shocks with 295-65-20

do you get alot of rubbing with this setup? did you trim like crazy? the numbers say 295/65R20 = 35.1X11.61R20 do the shocks lift it as well? this may have been covered but i didnt see it....

^^^this. As many pics as possible at turning points and contact locations.

275 60 20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. 2.5" Rough Country level kit and 1.5 Zone Body lift. Clears by a mile. Going to trim my air deflector. Don't want to remove it because I did and just didn't like the look. I think it is because of the curved bumper bottom that is throwing me off.

 

Photo shop (on my phone, lol) of what it would look like trimmed about 1.5 inches.

 

 

 

 

What is your measurement from the ground to the wheel well front and back?

2" front, 2.5"back and you'll be leveled

2" front, 2.5"back and you'll be leveled

Are you saying to add 2" to the front and 2.5" to the rear? That would keep factory rake but lift the the truck.

Mike, I was thinking that too. Wouldn't it not just lift but also make the rear even more unlevel than stock? I mean I'm good at math, but maybe I'm missing something lol.

I understand where you guys are coming from and to this day it doesn't make sense to me either, but that's what I got and it leveled my truck.

was it 2.5 up front and replace the rear block with a 2" block? Therefore 2.5 upfront and 1" in rear?

All you need tolevel the K2s is a 2"-2.5" spacer in the front. I have a 2" skyjacker level kit, dealer installed. It sits perfect. I even had 2 other dealers tell me that a 2-2.5" spacer in the front levels the truck. Leaving the rear stock. If you change out the rear with a 2" block then you, atleast when we talk mathematically, get some rake. If you need 2.5" to level front with stock rear, then adding 1" to stock rear would require you to put a 3.5" spacer in the front to level.

Agree on that. Was just trying to figure out his setup. But it seems 2-2.5 in front is what is required. YMMV of course.
