Which brand leveling?

fadetoblack188 · Oct 31, 2016

Guy what leveling kit do you recommend? I have a 2014 express 4wd.

Looks like I'll need 2.5 inches in the front. I think I a am going to go with the spacers vs the 5100 shocks. Not looking to spend to much right now.

Thanks

5100 seems to be the most popular way. That is what I will be going with. Look in the lofted section. There is a sticky thread about lifting.

5100 Bilsteins

Bilstein 5100's for sure. Especially for a 2013+ truck. At the end of the day Bilsteins aren't that much more money than spacers especially if you end up popping the ball joint out of the upper A-arm with a spacer kit (which is prone to happen).

They are like a hundred bucks each right ? So what do I do throw two in the front

Yup. Replace the front shocks and boom.

If you replace the rear's as well can you just vary the front vs. rear spacing to get a decent leveling effect?

I ordered my Bils through Jet.com. New customer discount of 15% or so, and I paid somewhere around $140 for the set. That was the best price I found. All you have to do is remove the OEM shocks, set the Bils to 2.1 setting, put them in, get an alignment, and you are done. You won't be disappointed. The ride will be smoother, and you'll have the piece of mind that you won't tear up your other suspension parts with a cheap spacer kit.

The rear shocks aren't adjustable as their shocks only, not a strut assembly like on the front end. But you can adjust the height of the front between 5 different settings to get it sitting how you want it to.
