Bilstein 5100 or Rough Country Leveling kit

[Bosoxnation854]

Hello everyone I'm looking to level my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4. Im not really sure what to go with either the adjustable Bilstein 5100s or a Rough Country leveling kit. I will be putting BFG All Terrains. I'd like to get 33s but not sure what height of leveling kit I would need. My truck came with 20 inch wheels. I measured from the ground to the center of the fender. The front measured at 36 7/8 and the rear at 38 15/16. I would like my truck evenly leveled out with no drag. My Chevy brothers and sisters any advice would be great thank you!

Both will add wear to your front end components. The 5100 will help save some of the wear on the ball joints (supposedly) by limiting the amount of max travel. With that your truck will ride rougher when turned all the way up as it pre-loads the spring (this is a common complaint, may not be rougher but firmer to some, just depends on what you feel) and will not be level. Still going to have the same angles whether spacer or 5100 level. Honestly I would say the 5100 is better by a little bit as it has a shock to match the new pre-load amounts but in the long run you can still have wear depending on what you do.

 

This is a good read about them not from the company trying to sell you their product...

Just did the 5100's, if the price isn't an issue, do it. Rides much better than stock, eliminated my 3rd gear clunk and reduced the 68-74 drive line vibration.

I did a 2" level and have 34" tires. I get a slight rub at full lock in reverse.

 

33" with a 2" level should be no problemo

Idk how you fit 34s on a 2 inch level my 285/65/18 (33") rub on my wheels on the mud flap in full lock reverse and that's 0 offset though

Those are 32.6" and shouldn't rub even without the leveling kit on a 2014+

I'm telling you right now on a 0 offset wouldn't fit without a level and im rounding up to a 33 because that's how I roll lol

You're right. They're 33's. My mistake.
