Cesar Ramos That depends on what size leveling kit you bought. If you are just installing a leveling kit without any lift then Stock tire size is appropriate. If you added a lift you can go with a much bigger tire and an inch or two wider depending on the offset of your wheels.
I have a question, I installed the rough country leveling kit on my 2014 silverado and they said to unplug my power steering prior. I've installed several of these on mine and a buddy's truck and never came across this. Have you heard anything like this before?
tyler vantine Yes. A good number of vehicles these days are coming with Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS). This is a very sensitive system and any sharp blows to it could damage it. Since you will need to remove the tierod end (in most cases) to install the kit, which is usually done by striking the linkage arm on the steering knuckle with a hammer, it is recommended that prior to installation you unplug the EPAS system to prevent damage.
I have a question.. I have seen some leveling kits come with blocks for the rear and some do not... Are the blocks for the rear important or beneficial?
Steve Lozano It really depends on the kit. The kits without the rear blocks are strictly leveling kits. The kits with the rear blocks are a lift and level kit. If you notice the ones with the blocks the front spacers are usually thicker then the rear blocks so that when installed it is lifted and leveled.
There is no way a leveling kit will provide enough clearance to run 37" tires as stated in the video description. You would need at least 6" - 7.5" of lift depending on the truck.
Jacob, You are correct that a simple leveling kit would not allow for that. What the video was meant to imply was that the Readylift systems come in different levels and there are some kits that will allow for 37's on certain vehicles.
+Rodney Pardilla actually there are a whole bunch of does and don'ts for this kit and vehicle combination. You can go here for more explanation: www.readyliftstore.com/ReadyLift_2014_Up_Chevy_1500_4WD_Alum_Long_SST_Lift_Kits_s/661.htm They are just to long to post here.
Why did you need to remove the upper ball joint from the knuckle. you were able to pull the strut out when it was all together when you removed it . It seems like one more step after the fact Im wondering
+sdshawn29 do to the added length of the strut assembly it is almost impossible to get it back in there with the upper balljoint attached. As you can see in the video I actually let the truck down on a jackstand in order to use the weight of the truck to compress the strut enough to reinstall the upper balljoint. Great question!
TheCamaro5 You can either call ReadyLift directly or a place like Mac's Hardware or Fastenal will have them. If you don't find them give us a call at 877-216-5446
TheCamaro5 they should be the same size as the ones you take off your stock struts. Take one off and take it in with you to match up. They are called whiznuts but I am not sure what size they are.
Yes Sir. There would be a difference in a leveling kit and a lift kit. Please contact our Off Road experts at 1-877-216-5446 for assistance in identifying the correct parts for your vehicle and your driving needs.
+austen9988 it does, however the components are a little different. You can check it out here: www.realtruck.com/readylift-sst-leveling-kits/R181521P2004Y842MA.html
