    Default 07 and up GMC Sierra Z71 lifts

    Has anyone put on of the these 07-up 4wd Chevy 1500 3" Suspension from Rough Country. I just put the strut extensione leveling kit on but am thinking of getting just a little higher. But dont want to go all the way with a 4" suspension due to funds. Also once you put the spacers in the rear does this have your truck sitting lower in the front. Just wondering what size tires you can run with this kit. Here is the link also.

    ive heard mixed reviews on the rough country 3 inch lift. some bad and some good, honestly im not a fan of the spacer leveling kits, i prefer the superlift 2.5 inch it replaces the strut, and rancho makes a similar kit. i would suggest one of them. a half an inch aint much difference , u only gonna be able to run a 33 either way.
    I own a 2007 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab (new body style). my truck is Red and has the 4.8, basically stock but i got big plans.

    yup, you wil be running a 33" tire. I would also recommend the a lift strut like leveling kit. You can get them from Bilstein, Rancho, or Superlift. Bilstein being the best, than rancho, than superlift
