When it comes to your 2014, 2015, 2016 Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 1500 there are quite a few options for a more aggressive look. One of the best ways to add an aggressive look to the already beefy styling of these trucks is to add some bigger tires. From the factory, the Silverado and Sierra come with a staggered stance, where the rear of the truck is higher than the front. This limits the tire size you can add to the front of the truck without experiencing tire rub on the inner fenders and suspension components. Adding a strut spacer kit for your GMT901, GMT902, GMT910, GMT911, GMT912, GMT926, GMT936, GMT946 is a great way to raise the truck enough to clear bigger tires, increase the off road potential of the truck and improve the look – all without spending a tremendous amount of money and maintaining the factory suspension characteristics. Below, we’ve listed some of our favorite leveling kits for the 2014-2016 Silverado GMTK2XX and 2014-2016 GMC Sierra.

This spacer allows for up to a 32.5 inch tire. The second kit offers 2.25 inches of leveling using a billet upper and lower strut spacer.  The larger leveling kit allows you to run a 33 inch tire without any rubbing.

2014, 2015, 2016 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Leveling Kits by Icon

2014 Silverado and Sierra Icon Leveling Kit

Icon Vehicle Dynamics offers a more advanced style of leveling kit. Icon’s kit is a standard coilover kit. The coilover kit replaces the stock strut unit with an adjustable coilover unit. This unit is designed to allow you to adjust you ride height from the stock height to an additional 2 inches of ride height with keeping the same stock control arms. This will allow you to clear 33 inch tires at the 2 inch adjustment. The advantage to getting a coilover is getting a drastically improved suspension, both off-road and on-road use. Icon also offers an extended travel coilover that can work with aftermarket control arms to give you an extra inch of adjustment and clearance.

As the only Authorized Southern California Whipple installer, STILLEN performance shop has been busy this summer installing Whipple superchargers on a lot of different vehicles. Even with the variety of vehicles coming in, the darling of the performance shop is the Ford SVT Raptor – it seems that every Raptor owner in SoCal wants to get a little extra power out of their engines and we’re more than happy to oblige!

A couple of weeks ago, we had a beastly blue Raptor come visit STILLEN for a Whipple supercharger.

Big Blue, Big Power with Whipple Supercharger Install

The owner of this big blue beast was looking for more power to cruise around the streets of LA and tear up the local deserts while off-roading, so our experts recommended getting a Whipple supercharger for SVT Raptor installed. However, like many owners that install superchargers, this Raptor owner noticed that wheel hop was becoming a bit of a problem. His truck was just making too much power! Since toning down the power wasn’t an option (who would want to do that?!), we recommend that he install a bump stop kit.

Now that he’s had the work completed for a couple of weeks, he loves the power the Whipple supercharger is making for his Raptor and his truck is no longer suffering from wheel hop. Like many others that have visited the STILLEN performance shop, he now has many other additional upgrades planed and we can’t wait to see what the next round of upgrades will be!
