Anyone with a 1inch level or 1.5" leveling kit

SierraMyst · January 30, 2016

From floor to top of bottom of wheel well I'm 39" in the rear and 36.5" in the front.

Figure the 1.5" will put me at 39" in the rear and 38 in the front. Correct?

no.. the 1.5 from motofab is a true 1.5 lift The actual width of the block are about 1.125-1.25

when it's all said and done, you should have about 2in of rake. I had 3.5in of rake before the level - but I already had my bigger 275/60/20 tires installed before the level.

Sorry, the only pics I have are on my gallery if you click my user name. The 2 that say done for now are with the ones after I put everything on. not the best pics for sizing it up. After I had the bedliner put in I had 2in of rake. I wanted to keep the angles in a safer area than the 2.5in but still get the same rake that it would have given me. I wanted to put 33x11 tires on it but wasn't 100% sure they wouldn't rub but as you can see a few ppl that have posted on this are running them. I've been debating about a 1.5in body lift and 33.5x11 or 11.5 on 0 offset wheels but can't pull the trigger.

Can anyone provide any input on ride change/quality with the 1.5" kit? Also, I know these are trucks, but how did it affect fuel mileage by lifting the nose up into the air a bit more? Also, last but not least, what about the factory warranty if I install myself, will it void?

It will take a little range of motion out of the front end but it shouldn't make it ride any worse. I could see being denied warranty on a torn CV boot but that's about it.

Fuel mileage loss won't be more than 1 mpg if that. Putting on bigger, heavier tires afterward will have the most effect.

Do the headlights have to be re aimed when you do these lifts?

1" level looks nice. Maybe that's the way to go.

I adjusted mine after a 2 inch level, super easy. Pop the hood, one screw over each headlight. Took about 30 seconds and they work great. Good luck!

I wouldn't even worry about headlights unless you go higher than 1.5

Who makes the 1" lift?

Who makes the 1" lift?

There are several companys. I got mine from summit performance

I'm kind of torn now.

Is there really a huge difference between the 1" and the 1.5"?

There isn't much of a difference. But if I had to do it over again I probably would do 1.5 but I am happy with the 1". I think 1.5 is a good compromise.
