I would think both should lift 2" as well. The suspension setup on the old GMT 900s is pretty much identical to the new K2xx at least in the front

Both kits are for the k2xx trucks, but the new kit just has a different look to it. It still lifts 2"…

Same truck with 2.5" leveling kit and single add-a-leaf:

Still have a Zone 1.5" body lift for it too, haven't decided for sure if I want to put it on or not.

What add a leaf kit did you go with? It looks great!

Add-a-Leaf was from Zone. I like having some rake in the truck for towing and hauling, it didn't affect the ride that I could tell either.

Mdrew, they never rubbed but I only had it about a week before I did the leveling kit so no off road but they had quite a bit of clearance. I wanted to go bigger but felt these were a good compromise because I didn't want bigger tires to rub or effect the gearing and shifting too much.

 

It seemed like it was pretty hit and miss if they will rub somewhere with bigger tires based on reading this forum.

 

If I do the body lift, I will probably do some wheel spacers and flares to balance it out. Also haven't ruled out getting some 17 or 18" anthracite Fuel Anzas to get a wider stance. I like the quality of OEM wheels though, I see a lot of aftermarket wheels that don't age very well.

Thank you. I have some Falken ATs on order. Same size. I also have Zone 2" spacers coming, just in case they rub. I have the mag ride though, and not crazy over changing the a-arm geo with spacers and oem a-arms with mag ride. But, the rake on this truck is just too much. I think a 1" rake would be perfect, and maybe air bags for towing. I'll be experimenting. ....

    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
