Suspension lift, which brand?

Chavez1322 · May 11, 2018

So I'm looking at lifting my 2017 silverado. I've been leaning towards mcgaughys but not too sure because of their lack of detailed instructions and I've heard bad things about their customer service. I'm also looking at the 8" superlift kit or the rcx 7.5". I've installed a rcx kit on my old truck and know they're the cheap way to go. Just wanted to see mainly what everyone's opinions are on these kits and if anyone has installed a mcgaughys, your experience with it.

Super lift with Kings, installing mine on June 8th. With that kit I can run 22x14s with a -76 off set and still clear 37.5 rubber.

I also had a custom bumper designed for it so if you do go as I did, you would just have to trim front bumper then inside wheel well. But can be done 100% and will look amazing.

Just look at this coilover..

These photos below is an extract replica of how my truck will sit running the tires I mentioned above with that -76.

Here’s an example of the bumper I’m having done and you can see the inside wheel well and how high I brought the bumper up to clear the 37s. If you kept stock bumper you would most likely just have to trim sides at a 35 degree angle and should be fine with the SuperLift kit.
