Got a great deal on a set of these 325/65/18 and just bought a 14 Z71 Crew, question is how much lift do I need and what wheel offset?

 

I would love to just go with the performance accessories 5" kit part # pls117.

 

What do you guys think?

They measure to a 34.6" tall and 12.8" wide. You might be able to fit them on the 5" rough country kit with the right offset. You fit them for sure with a 7" full throttle suspension. Don't run the 7" RCX . I'm just giving u brands I had personal experience with. Any questions PM me.

That kit you listed wouldn't be a very good idea. It's a body lift combined with a leveling kit. A suspension lift with a full diff drop is the way to go.

By the RC 5" are you referring to the 4.75" kit with diff drop and 1.25" body combined with 3.5" suspension?

 

thanks for the help trying not to go higher than needed, may just send'em back if too big of a pain

That 4.75" isn't a great kit. It's basically a bonified leveling kit with a body lift. A 5" kit really isn't that big, they recommend a 33-12.5 with it. And it will keep your front end angles close to factory which means a smooth ride and no worries about premature wear of ball joints, tierods, cv axle, ect... And by front end angles I mean lower control arms, upper control arms, cv axles, ball joint, tierod. By keeping those flat you getting a great ride and no added stress that could cause premature wear. I have a 2.5" lift/level on my 2014 now and will most likely be switching to the 5" kit come spring. These trucks sit pretty low stock.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
