depends on how much money you want to spend,(big price jump from 2" lift to 3" lift) and what size tires you want to run. 2"-2.5" you wont notice a difference. you will notice a difference if your trying to cram a bigger tire in there tho lol.

 

I have a 2013 sierra, lifted 2.25 in the front only, I am runnung 18x9 Fuel Kranks with 5.5 back spacing. tires are 285/65/18 trail grapplers. i love the way it looks and no rubbing at all. I personally wouldnt go and higher cause I would need bigger tires and then I would need to change the gear ratio. not wanting to deal with all that. Here is how it looks

 

I only went with 2". Just enough and I have a tt I pull regularly so i didn't want to have to mess with that.

What made you go with 285/65 instead of 275/70? I see 3 popular tire sizes for our 18s, 285/65, 275/70 and 285/70

 

because the 275 70 is a little taller and I think would rub if u didnt do the calmode, i didnt want to do that, plus the 65 are a little wider that a 70. thats why i went with that.

 

Question fellas, Will i be able to clear 285 55 20 Nitto Terra Grap with 20x9 BMF Novakanes zero to +12 offset with just a 2 inch level kit? Or should i go with the new 2.5? I just want to give it more of an aggressive look without emptying my money clip. I dont want to trim if i dont have too. I have a 2011 Silvy Crew LT. Thanks in advance for your help.

Murph of ND.

 

Personally I would go with a 1.5 or 2 inch level at the max, anymore than that the ball joint and tie rod end angles are getting maxed out.

You'd be fine, 285/55r20 is only ~32.3"

 

Am I the only one who does not understand why there are different size level kits. If the rear height is unchanged, then shouldn't there be only 1 size kit to level a truck ?

 

A longbed generally has more rake than a shortbed... a crew cab has more rake than a short bed but less than a long bed. Plus, some people want level, some want more level but not all the way level. Some people want to look ridiculous and have the back end squat down all the time.

 

Ok now that makes sense to me.

What leveling kit do you have?

 

I used the ready lift 2.25 kit.

 

Resurrecting the dead.... I'm torn between the 2.5 and 2 rc level. Don't want to over size tires. Sticking with stock 265/70/17 goodyear duratracs. Have an extended cab. Thoughts?

 

I would do the 2" personally.

 

Got a floor jack? Place jack under front cross member. measure stock height, jack up 2 inches and step back and look, go up another 1/2 inch step back and look. which do you like better?
