I am buying a 2014 Silverado 1500 z71 4x4. I want to install a suspension lift on it, however I'm not afraid to admit I'm kind of a rookie. So I have a few questions. To begin, I want the truck to sit level (lifted and level) so with the Rough Country 5" suspension lift make it level or will it still have a rake to it? Also will I have to put on new larger tires as soon as its lifted or will the factory work until I buy the new tires? Finally, can anyone post some pictures of Silverados with 5 inch lifts (no real reason, I just want to see how mine compares and maybe get some new ideas).

 

No the lifts are designed so that it sits level and for a 5 inch lift lets just say no you dont need new tires, but your gonna look goofy until you get some big tires. Mine is not lifted 5 inches but if you google you will have plenty.

 

Adding 5" Rough Country will give you some rake. So if you want to level your truck, get 4" rear blocks.

 

Rough country supplies blocks with the kit. It'll lift up 5" in front, and should have 3-4" blocks out back to level it out. It's not a very big lift though, probably can run 35s on stock wheels but on anything else 33s max
