2014+ Leveling Kits

Brock Samson · July 20, 2014

Pro Comp 1.5" front level only. Bumped the tires up to LT275/65R18's. Overall, likely lost 2-3 MPG's, but I'm much happier with the truck overall.

You lost that much jumping up a 1/2" in tire size? Truck does look great thou…

So to get the front height the same as the rear do I need a 1.5, 2, or 2.5 level kit. Or does it depend on the manufacture of the kit.

Make sure your truck is on level ground, then measure the distance from the ground to the top of the wheel well... it should be roughly ... Front 37", Rear 39".

That would be a 2" front level. I did a 1.5" because I wanted the front 1/2" lower than the rear. Looks a lot better!!! (but you should measure yours to be sure what you want.)

Mine is 38.5" front, 39" rear...

Yours looks great.

Mine is 37 3/16 in the front on both sides, however the right rear is 39 3/4 and the left rear is 40 1/4. Is this because the gas tank is on the left rear?

Below your picture it says you have 2.25 level

Yeah, I need to change that. I bought the Ready Lift, which comes as a 2.25", but you have the option of leaving out a 3/4" spacer that makes it 1.5". I left the spacer out because I wanted 1/2" lower in front..... I'll change my profile description.... thanks!

The Z71 seems to sit higher in the rear in stock form. It took a 2.5" front spacer to get mine completely level.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Have you had any rubbing now that the components have settled? Even at full lock in reverse? Curious because a really want to run 305 but I don't want any rubbing on a brand new truck. Thanks

I have put 800 miles on the truck now. Still do not rub, full lock, turning, forward or reverse, slight incline etc. It might rub sometime off-roading or something but as of right now, nothing. I am very pleased with my set up!

Finally got the leveling kit installed. I also installed some AMP powersteps with the plug and play kit. It doesn't sit perfectly level though, it's a 2.5" RC kit.

Are you calculating it correctly for the new tire size? or going by the display?

tanner709 · July 22, 2014

2.5-inch RC leveling kit with only the front kit installed. Stock rear block. Sits really nice and is visually level or just a smidge up in the front... but I like/wanted that look. Tires are 275/70/18s with no rub in any situation.

-12 or +18 offset? Looks great. I'm leaning towards those wheels in black

14SLTZ71 · July 22, 2014

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block.

Does the 2.5 put the fronts CV shafts at a bad angle? Or any level for that matter.
