  1. Glad to hear that, I did pull the trigger on the 2020 LTZ and just clicked over 3K miles yesterday!
  2. Keep us posted, I am considering trading my 2015 LTZ for a 2020 LTZ in the next week.
  3. The spacer under the strut changes the geometry and decreases ride quality, I removed mine that provided a 1 1/2” lift in the front allowing my truck an almost level look and replaced the factory Ranchos with the Billy 6112’s and installed them on the 3rd ring, this provided me with a little more than what the 1 1/2” lift spacer had given me and improved my ride greatly, better than when the truck was new. Point is, if you want more than a 1 3/4” lift my advice is to go with a different strut combo and a new upper control arm in order to properly achieve your desired height of 2.25” lift. I believe Fox, Icon and King all have options that will work nicely. King would be my choice out of the three but I desire a quality ride vs jarring my fillings out!
  4. Message them on Facebook, they seem to respond better there.
  5. Do you have magnetic ride? If you have traditional strut and springs they should work, i have a 2015 LTZ 6.2 and installed these a couple months ago with no issues. Hit battle born up on Facebook if you want a quick answer.
  6. I went with the 6112’s because it is the strut/spring combo the truck should have from the factory, just replacing stock strut and keeping factory springs will only change the ride 50%. Might as well do it once and be done! I drive the same style as you and am so glad I waited for the 6112’s, installed myself as it is a piece of cake! let me know if you have any questions or want more info? I removed my spacers when I installed the 6112’s, better geometry taking them out when running factory control arms. Put the 6112’s or 5100’s on the top ring and your at the same height up front with a better ride!
  7. I ordered 6112's beginning of this month along with 5100's for the rear, nothing has come in yet bet I will def update this thread once everything comes in and install. 6112's have to be better than the Rancho's, I will update this thread when I put mine on. I will be installing them on one below the top settings wise and will not use a spacer.
  8. Chas, Thank you for your time over the phone this afternoon discussing my project and the awesome deal on the 6112's and some 5100's for the rear of my 15 Silverado!! Looking forward to ditching the Rancho's and enjoying my truck again!! John in St. Louis
  9. Very good info, thank you for sharing! I am adding Icons to the consideration list even though the Halo lift setup is still the front runner.
  10. Codey, Thanks for the heads up on these, price point seems good but it still puts me at assembling the struts which I would like to avoid. The 2" lift with the two systems I am looking at is basically my max as I'm not looking to buy new wheels and tires to take full advantage of a higher lift plus the UCA would have to be replaced I believe once you go 2 1/2" higher. Appreciate you sharing, found some good info on the Eibach's when I searched.
  11. The time has come, I am just over 55,000 miles and I absolutely can't take the factory Rancho's any longer! I seem to have narrowed it down to the Halo Lift Boss setup or the Fox 2.0 setup, either way I will be doing both front and rear with a rear block that is undetermined to keep my current stance. Currently have a 1 1/2" lift/leveling in the front using a under strut spacer. My goal is to have a better performing shock/strut combo that simply does everything better. Pavement, gravel roads and light off-road use. Anyone that has either system in place, please share your thoughts! I have performed countless searches and read a ton of threads, saw a couple issues with the Fox 2.0 setup in the past but nothing really reported recently. Haven't seen anything negative about the Halo setup but seems too good to be true lol Not interested in the Bilsteins, don't want the hassle of switching out the factory strut and reusing the factory spring setup, just want to be able to remove and replace with a solid unit ready to install. Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.
  12. I have waited well over a year (like many others) and still no 6112’s! my Rancho’s are done at 35K miles and I will be purchasing something to replace them this month. Looks like I might have to look elswhere other than Bilstein?
  13. Thank you for the update! What other rear shock would you recommend with the 6112's up front? Maybe the 5100 rear shocks?
  14. I just did 1.5" spacers under my front shocks yesterday (went with Motofab), very easy to do and I now only have a 1" rake instead of almost a 3" rake prior. Other than the nose riding higher I haven't really noticed any difference in the way the truck drives....Getting my alignment in a few day's.
