I have a 2010 z71 and am in the market for a leveling kit. I have narrowed it down to either the RC 2" or the CCM 2.5". On the CCM website, it says that it fits 07-present, but then on the bottom states that it fits 07-09 models. So my first question is does the CCM fit a 2010 model? Next, one is above the shock (CCM), and the RC is at the bottom. Is there one that is better than the other on the truck?

My thoughts are that I would like the extra .5 inch that the CCM offers, because I think it will get me closer to being actually level and may allow for just a bit more room for tires. But I have heard good things about both. Anyone got any info? Thanks

I've heard go ccm you won't regret it. The RC is a good kit but I don't think it makes it level enough, there's still some rake in it afterwards. We put a 2.5" on my dads 08 vmax and it leveled it perfectly with the back. Enough room for some 33x12.5x20 toyo mt's a d 20x9's with a -12 offset

Hey, thanks for the info! Do you know if they will go on the 2010 models?

As far as I know yeah...I don't believe the suspensions changed between those year models lol. You'll want to go higher soon though, I promise

Just put a RC on my 2011 crew, from the ground to wheel well the front was at 37" and was finished off at 38 7/8". The rear is 39" it is very close to level.

will the 33x12.5x20's fit with just the 2.5" leveling kit?

country_09

Yes...my dad has a 2.5" kit with 33x12.5x20 toyo mt with 20x9 xd rims with a -12 offset and they fit

went with the CCM 2.5. Installed it myself Friday. Has anyone had any problems with the upper A-Arm bumping the stop underneath it when going over bumps. I think mine may be doing that. I can hear a little bump when I am going over pot holes and such and by looking at it, I can see a small spot on the stop where it looks like the Upper arm may be coming into contact with it.

Also, I read where people switch the right and left struts when they do a lift like this. At first, I did not understand why they would do that. BUt after doing the lift, I understand. The mounts that go on top make you have to install the stut in backwards from the origional position. I went ahead and installed them in the same side that they were on. Shouls I take them out and switch sides with them?
