2015 Silverado Leveling kit, Which One Is The Best?

silveradonationfan15 · November 18, 2015

Ok, so I asked the question about fitting a 275/70/18 on a stock Silverado. I recently bought a set of ko2 275/70/18 tires and later realized they rubs a little (not much) This don't worry me but there isn't much overall room in the fount wheel well.

So now I finally decided to buy a leveling /lift kit and I don't know which brand is the best? and No don't recommend rough country I knows you can buy it for $49.99. I was looking at buying a Ready lift?....any pros or cons?

Which is better lower or upper strut extensions?

Right now I trying to decide how big should I go. I was thinking a 2.25" and add lager block in the rear (that would be an inch) or should I go with a 1.5" or 1.75" and not touch the rear?

I Still wants a bit of a factory rake because I does some towing and uses the bed daily for hauling items.

Can someone help me here, I kind of needs to know soon because I wants to order some type of kit.

I have a top gun customz 2" level, front only. Solid steel, welded together, basically all kits are the same to tell you the truth. Mine looks like it sets level, but i think there is a tad bit of rake. Go with a 1.5" and you'll be fine.

I plan on putting in a 2" block in the rear to give a tad more rake for when im towing and hauling and such

What do you have a crew cab std box?? also what do you have upper or lower strut spacer?........ I thinking I am going to buy the 2.25" kit because its the same price as the 1.5" and I only install the top strut piece which is 1.5". in the future I put the lower strut spacer in and add an inch to the rear.

Mine is a under the strut spacer. Truck is a crew cab short box. Heard good and bad about a 2.5" level as far as steering and suspension components wearing out so i figured i would only do a 2"

Go with Bilsteins. Its all a single adjustable unit. No funky strut spacers on the top or bottom. Plus you benefit from having a premium shock installed.

my guy swears by Ready Lift

A lift block is a lift block, they're all the same just made of different materials. Like fonduput said go with billstein 5100's.

Bought mine off eBay. 1" machined aluminum block that gives 2" lift (from under the strut). Came with grade 10.8 hardware for $26.99.

Bilsteins are a leveling kit.

Ill echo some of the others, from research on here and elsewhere. Only leveling kit I would use is the Bilstein 5100 leveling front strut.

tnchevy · November 18, 2015

The 5100 is what I plan on going with.

If you do not want to spend the money on the Bilstiens, I would go with the Rough Country kit, or something similar.

This is the kit I got http://www.roughcountry.com/gm-leveling-lift-kit-1305-10.html.

I called them up and switched out the 2" block that comes with the kit for a 3" block to retain some rake, only a few dollars more.

Just seems so pricey for 150, when the 5100s are what like 120ish a piece for level and a nice strut upgrade.
