2014+ Leveling Kits

Keep in mind it's not just rolling resistance to consider when fuel economy is a concern. Taller tires take more power to turn to accelerate the truck at the same rate. They also take more power to keep the truck moving thru the wind resistance at freeway speeds.

What size tires are you running on your truck? Any rubbing?

305/65/18 and yeah they rub in reverse a bit... More trimming to come though

A bit off topic, but has anyone put on Bilstein 5100's on their truck yet? I have a 14 GMC AT, with the RC 2.5 and I ordered the 3" blocks for the rear. I pulled a trailer last week and didn't like the sag. I have the airbags I removed from my 12 F150 KR, just don't want to install them myself. It was bad enough taking them off. Plus I would like a bit more height. I'm 6'4", and installed my Amp steps and I keep forgetting they are there. My F150 had a 4" Rancho lift. Just thought I would ask I have been told they are not out yet.

Well the readylift 2.25 front level kit is installed, and a 3" block on the back...Like the rake plus I tow a boat, sled and quad so needed it for sag. Anywho looking at beefing up the tires a little. Looking at nitto terra grapplers or cooper zeon ltz. Looking at 305 50 20...Thinking they should work by size calculator but any experience would help if you would like to chime in!

You should be good to go with that size on stock wheels. I'm running a 295/40r24 which measures to a 33.3 with 2.5" level.

I received a lower arm spacer kit today. Machined aluminum spacers nicely made. The instructions didn't indicate how much each of the spacers lift the truck.

 

The kit came with 6 blocks total, 2 each of 1/2", 3/4" and 1 1/8" thickness. Question for those of you that have done this: Does the block lift the truck twice the thickness of the block (1/2" = 1", 3/4" = 1 1/2", etc.) ?
