Leveling kit issue


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey I just got a 2017 Chev silverado 1500 I'm having issues with my wheel alignment I think. I got it done a week ago and 2 days ago I noticed that my tire is now a touching a part when I cut my wheel to the right on the driver side only.

You have the stamped steel control arms.

 

cant use the lower spacer to level it out. Remove it. Buy the spacer that goes in the top of the strut.

I have the stamped control arms, a rough country leveling kit, and 18" tires with no rubbing (as far as I am aware). What is your tire size OP?

I used the Rough Country lower spacers, have stamped upper and lower arms, and have ZERO rubbing with stock 275/55/R20 tires...

That is FALSE!  Most have the steel control arms and thousands on here have put bottom spaces on them.

I had mine installed at Les Schwab (so I could do new wheels and an alignment at the same time) and they were set to do the bottom spacers but ended up having to grab upper spacers from another store. I think they changed with the 2017...?

I have a 2017 Z71 and all front suspension components are steel, verified with a magnet.  

 

I just had the rough country 2" lift done and it is the U spacer on the bottom, no issues with 18" stockers.

So why are there a few who have problems with stamped steel control arms and the lower lift/leveling kit?

 

Made in China spindles or control arms have poor quality control?

Post your alignment spec sheet. Also do you have upsized tires?
