2006 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 RC Leveling Kit and Tires

2006 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab Z71.

Pics of my new Rough Country 3" Leveling Kit and New Kumho KL71 tires.

Leveling Kit comes with 4 New Rough Country Shocks, 3" Rear Blocks, and Re-Indexed Torsion Keys. Kit takes about 2 hours to install with all the necessary tools.

Tires are Kumho KL71's. They are 315/70/17. Just a tad smaller than a 35x12.50.

@Nikogmario55 it is a rough country leveling kit...i bought it directly from rough country. it was $189.95 plus shipping. the tires did rub slightly at full lock but thats all. and 315 is a 34.5 inch tall tire. and thanks man.

[JCarter140]

@realj4ck4ss you can always get a body lift gap guards and n fabs to cover frame it would be better in the long run..im going to get a 3 inch body lift and take out my shitty "leveling" kit

[realj4ck4ss]

@paintballforlife06 i do understand where your getting but .... got 2 kid to feed and a wife to convince , i'm really considering this 2 inch rough country and the 1 inch and a half zone body lift wich would cost way below the 6 inch suspention... but dont get me wrong i understand your points but , money is the issue usually for people ,

[paintballforlife06]

@realj4ck4ss fuck that they will just fuck up your wheel bearings and front end parts...not worth it just get a real lift i regret getting aftermarket keys

[realj4ck4ss]

@paintballforlife06  just gotta put some spacer on the front

[paintballforlife06]

getting aftermarket keys is not a good idea it narrow the front track width...pulling the tires closer making the rear stick out more then the front and it looks like shit!

i have an 06 silverado shortbed regular cab 2wd manual tranny. i was looking into leveling mine. a company does a 2.5 leveling kit for 110 bucks. is that a good deal?? also will i need aftermarket shocks??

[MrKanklekiller187]

@kyle91chevy1 no sir, best way i can describe it is it sits exactly like a 3/4 ton with its bars cranked. keys arent turned up, sits higher, and it has a soft ride. if u drop me ur email i will send u pics of wut it looks like if ud like

[kyle91chevy1]

@MrKanklekiller187 cool and you didnt have to crank the bars up after you got the new keys?

[MrKanklekiller187]

@kyle91chevy1 u r rite, its the leveling kit. No exaggerations tho, sittin 3 inches higher than it used to, and another 2 inches cause of tires. i parked my pickup next to a couple stock ones and the bottom of my mirror is at the top of theirs. I was amazed how much u can get out of the keys, i can pull more than 3 inches. Its pry about 2 inches from the factory bars cranked. But 3 from where stock setting was at
