Just do it yourself. Then you can do them the way you want. I let the dealer do it because I wanted them to check the alignment cause after 600 miles I felt it starting to pull. When they readjusted the headlights they aimed them all th way down. So the cut off line was on the ground 40 ft infront of the truck.

If you do it yourself the adjustment screw is in the center on top of the headlight. You will need a Philips or Alan key.

Mike , thanks again for the info brother.

Do I have to pull anything off or will I see it and adjust from there ?

that is odd, since there wont be a lift, what if I left the level kit upfront and just ran these with it? possible? im thinking the ride would still be better. and if it doesn't lift it wont throw the front end any higher and mess up the angles.

I saw the same thing Bub...I have a LTZ z71 and was looking into the Quick lift also. I have an email into Rancho. Waiting for reply.

let me know what they say. I ordered anyway in pairs. I can put the rears on if the fronts don't work and return them. but that makes no sense, my front end looks just like my buddies regular 4x4. its no higher.

ive also read through some other forums and threads and seem someone else had them on a Z71 and did it. so im curious now as why it wouldn't lift

Just need to pop the hood and you'll be able to see it.

I have to adjust mine down after a 2 inch. I don't like it how it is now.

Funny , the local led bulb guy who works as a one man team wanted $50 to re aim.

Love this forum for this very reason ,,,everyone has some info on a truck we all love

I'll be getting my 2.5 RC front only Thursday with 305/60r18 on stock wheels, I've seen posts where some say they will rub and some say they won't anyone know for sure?

I have a 2.5 inch level and those are the tires I want as well. I've heard that some trimming is needed, but maybe someone that has this setup will chime in.

Here's my bone stock 2015 Sierra All-Terrain "before" pictures for reference. Plans are 2.5" RC kit up front, gonna leave the stock blocks in the back. I'll swap for the RC blocks if I have less than 0.5" rake or looks "nose high".

 

It's also getting 295/55r20 (33x11.5) Toyo AT2 Xtreme tires on stock 20's and black Bulletproof offset mud flaps. Should be done after the weekend, I'll report back with "after" pictures and measurements.

Here's a little bit of an update, got the Rough Country 2.5" kit installed up front and the 295/55r20 Toyo AT2 Extreme tires on.

Decided to leave the stock blocks in the back for now, had the shop send me a couple pics and take a few measurements.

Currently sitting at 39.5" up front and 39.75" out back from ground to center of fender.

I'll give it some time to see if it settles and if I change my mind I can easily swap the rear blocks.

Just have to get the BulletProof offset flaps on, tint the front windows and get the front bumper PPF installed.
