2.5" Front and 2" Rear Leveling lift kit for 2019-2020 Chevy Silverad1500 MotoFab

Looking on here to see in anyone is running this kit?   
 

2.5" Front and 2" Rear Leveling lift kit for 2019-2020 Chevy Silverado Sierra GMC MotoFab

 

 

I am also considering he RC 2” level and the RC 3.5 lift. Trying to figure out what tires I can fit with a 2” level and the same for the 3.5”.

 

Post any pictures and tire size if you have them. Keeping my options open at this point. I do not want a full 6” lift (been there).

I’m also looking at the MotoFab 2.5/2 kit as well. I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts.

I've got it on mine. No problems had it over 10K

 

You need to purchase the rear strut extenders from motofab otherwise you will get a nasty bang every bump.

the front 2.5 kit is really 3"  and the rear 2.0 is really 2.5"  You'll be shocked at how high it actually is.

My motofab 2.5/2 gave me exactly that, there is no way a 2" rear block gave you more than 2"

Well unless it was a mislabeled box my rear is higher than 2.0.  I think i'm going to measure when I get home.

Anyone have any pictures to share with the kit installed?

Measure how tall your block is, because it is only going to lift it however much that block is.

Potentially dumb question: is there any other hardware required for this? Can I simply install spacers in the front and blocks in the back and call it a day? That sounds too simple.

I installed the 2.5 top spacer on my 20 Sierra Crew Cab. I liked that you didn't have to disassemble the strut but had a hard time getting the mounting tab from the strut twisted enough to get the bolts to thread in on the first side. When I did the opposite side I used a large adjustable wrench to twist the bottom mounting tab angle to get the bolts to align. Made the install much easier.

I installed the spacer blocks from my 2014 in the rear. Think they were 1" or 1.25".

6000 miles and no problem so far!

Block kits come with u bolts so ya basically just put in the spacers and get it aligned. I wouldnt go more than 2.5" without upper control arms

Got it. If this is so simple and inexpensive, what advantage do the more expensive lift kits provide? Such as the GM 2" lift? I realize they include more hardware...but is it worth that much more money? Is it a better ride? I'm thinking this kit will get me a look close to an off-the-lot AT4, which is exactly what i'm looking for...nothing too crazy.

 

Do I not need replace the rear shocks with this setup? And, finally, is it def confirmed that we need to order the rear strut extenders? (they seem to out of stock)

 

Thanks again!

Gm kits comes with different struts, shocks, and cv axles. Its just the way gm did it. I have shock extensions right now but have longer bilstein shocks on order, they werent available yet. Imo i would never buy the gm kit, rancho shocks suck and i dont feel cv axles are needed

That looks really good! And that's the MotoFab kit? That's actually more level than i thought it would be with only a .5" difference. Have you measured your fender heights after installing?
