2014 GMC Sierra SLE Crew, 6" Fabtech lift w/ Dirt Logic coilovers, Fuel 2 piece Rims and 35x12.50x20 Mickey Thompson ATZ radials, AMP Research Powersteps, Magnaflow 409 Stainless catback, Diablosport Trinity power tuner.

That is very nice! Looks like more than 6" though......

You may be right. I guess we could ask @sean006 to measure the distance from ground to top of the wheel wells front and back? That should settle it.

I’m no expert when it comes to lifts or level kits so what’s your input on this:

front is 40”

rear is 41.5

Let me know

For my 2018 1500, the stock measure from center hub to fender was 21.5", and after Fox 2.0 coilovers, it came out to be 23.5". So 6" lift should be 27.5"...from hub.

From ground, tire size changes will add to lift. My 275/70 18 measure in at 38 5/8" from ground to fender.

Happy New Year! This is about as close as I can get to mud around my area. Every road is gated off. Anyone in the Redmond Washington area know of some good back roads to take?

I lived in Seattle 2010-2011 and took my 2003 Z71 up in the Snowqualmie area a bunch and had a bunch of fun on trials. Drive out I90 up past Issiquah... Tiger Mountain, Rattlesnake Mountain, and the area opposite I90 Keechelus Lake had a bunch of fun forestry roads that didn't beat my truck up too bad.

The OEM chrome chipped and I wanted a cheaper replacement. I had my doubts, but I liked the end result!

OK this is what I got compared to my stock 2018 Denali - you have a 3.5" lift on the front and 1.25" on the rear.

Calculations:

You have 33/12.5r20 tires, that puts your hub at 16.5".

Front= hub to fender is 40-16.5 = 23.5"

Rear = hub to fender is 41.5-16.5 = 25"

My Stock Denali measures Front = 36 and Rear = 39 13/16 on 285/45 r22 - hub is at 16.05"

Front = hub to fender is 36-16.05 = 19.95" - let's call it 20"

Rear = hub to fender is 39 13/16 - 16.05 = 23.75"

So you can see that your front is about 3.5" higher than my stock Denali and your rear is about 1.25" higher.

So is that a Level or a 4" lift? What does everyone think? Comments?

Thanks for the advice, I will have to try that. I have to get my front raised up - my front air damn practically scraps the ground it is so dang low. Level or 4" lift is the question right now and removal of said front air damn.

Does the rear difference have anything to do with the tire size ?

(Compared to your stock height)

and if they just added a front level kit they did a terrible job making it “level” lol

1.5 off

Looks great

Which headlights ?

Did you vinyl wrap the GMC ?

2015gmc1500 · January 3, 2019

Retrofit D2S swap with the 2stroke led bulbs and diode dynamics switchback led swap with klearz lenses. No vinyl, just the shells. They have been on for about 4 months, have held up great. If I keep the truck I’ll get them painted in addition to the sensors.

I believe I took tire size into account. Remember, my truck is a Denali with the magnetic ride control suspension. That could be a difference - maybe it rides an inch lower? If so then you would have a level.
