Yes I am looking into leveling it with the Ready lift torsion keys but they have this note on their web site so would like a little more info on this problem:

NOTE: The 2011-2012 model GM HD trucks tend to exhibit far greater bump steer than 2010 and older models. Whether stock, lifted or leveled, the bump steer can be noticable on the 2011-2012 trucks. GM recognized there is a design issue with the steering system on the 2011-2012 HD trucks and have since released General Motors part # 25888044 Steering Stabilizer/Absorber to correct the problem. Our testing has revealed this factory steering stabilizer does in fact greatly improve the steering feel and performance on the 2011-2012 HD trucks. If your truck is stock, lifted or leveled and you experience any uncomfortable bump steer we highly recommend purchasing the factory steering stabilizer to greatly reduce the problem.

Most of the newer 2500s didn't come with a stabilizer, think there was a thread on here about it? Someone else did all that footwork. The brackets are already installed and the hole is already drilled in the tie rod, they just didn't install the stabilizer. Its just a typical OE steering stabilizer found on most trucks.

 

I bought and installed that <General Motors part # 25888044 Steering Stabilizer/Absorber> shock, makes a WORLD of improvement, even with a stock suspension! I found it on line for about $90 shipped to the door, had to buy a metric nut for the tapered stud and a 1/2"x3" bolt and nut for the eye end. Cost me less than $5 for the added hardware and took less than 5 minutes to install.

WOW that thing is awesome. I wish I could afford one. They are like high fifties now. I remember when you could get a 2500 for high twenties...not even 10 years ago. Now they are so scarce used ones are 35+

Really nice rig.

Very nice looking truck. I agree that the GMC's front end with just enought chrome looks much nicer than the Chevy's all chrome. Not totally sold on the Z71 appearance with all color. Congrats and enjoy.
