2014 silverado suspension lift questions

krokerc · June 21, 2016

Sooo i need help on this decision. Right now I have a 14 silverado LT z71 double cab. I am running 285/65R18 with a pro comp levelling kit. my wheels are fuel lethal with a -12 offset. Tires are the toyo open country ATII xtreme (10Ply E rated). I am considering lifting the truck with a 3.5 to 4 inch lift. My options I believe are 3.5" rough country or 4" BDS lift. My concern with the bds is that the tires are too small? If i go with rough country i would rather go with fox 2.0 rear shocks and fox front coil over struts (without resevoir) opinions and or questions??

Yes I think with either of those lifts it would look funny due to the tires being too small, that being said I'd have to say go with the fox suspension setup

I have the 4 inch BDS with Fox suspension, and 33x12.5R18 tires. Everyone has different tastes, but I think your tires would probably look fine on a 4 inch lift in terms of height (diameter of the tire). Because of your flares, I'm not sure on the width; however, you would only be going up about 2 inches in the front from your current position, and with your front tires pushed out another approximately 1.5 inches, the tires should look fine up front. I'm not sure about your offset though.
