2017 leveling kit

[saltgod]

Im new here but have been reading on here for a long time. Im sure my answer is in the thread with 300+ pages lol. I just bought a 17 Silverado with the chrome 20s. Im looking for a leveling kit that will eliminate the rake. I almost want it nose up very very slighty. Ive read about all the various kits RCX, MOTOFAB, ready lift,... Im not worried about brand. If I do the rcx 2.5 and leave the factory rear block would that work? I want to run 20x10 fuels with whatever size toyo mt that I can fit. Any imput would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

You could do a 2 -1/2" kit from RC or a few others and leave the rear alone. Or Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks on highest setting and add 1/2" strut spacer on the top of the shock assembly. From what I hear you don't want to go any higher then 2 1/2" with any leveling kit. I did the Bilsteins and I'm considering adding the 1/2" spacer and swapping the rear block for a 1" more rake since I tow and haul quite often.

I don't tow to often at the moment which is why im looking to be rid of the rake. If I do just the front of that kit my nose will be level with the back?

Pretty close with the spacer and the Bilsteins. I'm not positive though because I have the NHT option so my rear springs are stiffer.. Thus I don't sqaut as much in the rear.

I want to try to leave the Z71 suspension parts alone as much as I can.

If anyone could post pics of a 2.5 without the rear block please do

Welcome to this forum. I recommend that you spend the time reading the other threads on this topic and enjoy your truck stock for awhile.

Your truck has about 2.5" of rake so you'll be about dead level with a 2.5" kit. On a 20x10 I'd run a 33 or 295/55 tire

For reference I sit 3/4" HIGHER in the FRONT and IMHO it looks dead level

just the front or with the rear block? size tires?

[michigan2500hd]

here is mine with just the Bilsteins. I got about 1 3/4" lift. If it's just height your looking for and not a improved ride/ handling then I'd go with a Zone or RC type lower spacer lift. They're not expensive either. However your stuck with the junk shocks from the factory.

The Bilsteins are much better especially on the bigger bumps and cornering.

Tires are 275/60/20 Fallen Wildpeaks. Awesome tire in the snow and wet pavement. Quiet and handles great on every surface so far.
