Just finished a TGC 2.5" leveling kit and definitely loving the new look. Quality of the kit is top notch. Starting with just the lower spacer and it wasn't high enough. My truck's rake was right at about 3" from the factory.

Could anyone with a 1.5 - 2" leveling kit measure the height of your truck from ground to roof (1500 models)?

 

I am just trying to get an idea of how much room I'll have entering and exiting my garage. I believe when I first measure the garage I had about 86" to enter the frame and inside of course was much more.

 

I initially thought I could just measure my own truck and then add 2" but I just have a feeling it doesn't work like that and the last thing I want to do is level it and it doesn't fit, having to park it outside for potential hail and snow for sure in these long 6 months of winter we have here

 

 

 

Thanks in advance :)

Mine has a 2.5" level and I'm sitting at 76" or just about as when I measure it is taller than I am. But you will not have an issue getting in your garage

I literally registered to ask this exact question. Been reading this post for the last few days, and if I decide to pull the trigger on a 15 Sierra it's getting the leveling kit and tire package before it even makes it to 100 miles on the odometer. In the long run, I don't want something that won't fit in most parking garages in the city, or a personal garage when we finally decide to move.

 

At this point, it looks like kits are readily available for trucks with and without the All Terrain package, correct?

Ok just got all done with the leveling kit. First picture is of the day I picked it up.

Second and third picture is of it with just the front RC spacers installed.

Nice ride!! We have the same truck..did you take measurements before the kit? If so, are they posted somewhere? I am looking to level my truck and am curious as to what yours measured. Idk if I should get the RC 2.5" kit or the Ready Lift 2.25" kit for just the front. Also, did you replace or plastidip your bowtie black?

Is there a definitive answer for what size tires I can run with a 2.5 level on the factory 18" wheels. I've been searching for a couple days and can't find a straight answer.

No to a 295/65r18.? Goodyear makes the duratrac in that size

Neverminds, there are ko2s in the 285/65. I'll just go with those, reviews are good

Looking for some side pics of your 4WD Sierra 'levelled' with an 1.5" or 2" in the front. Trying to decide between 1.5" and 2". I am running 20" wheels with stock tires, Crew cab. Thanks everybody!

I did measure before, forget the exact measurements but it was around 36 in front and 38 in rear. I went with the rough country because I knew It would come with the rear block if needed.

I plasti dipped the bowties. the bowties were real easy. I also later did the wheel inserts and bowties. They were alittle harder but not so bad after I figured it out. On the wheels I couldn't let it dry, had to spray real thick coat and pull tape immediately while still wet.post-51661-0-02765600-1433622110_thumb.jpgpost-51661-0-71140300-1433622167_thumb.jpgpost-51661-0-19144900-1433622429_thumb.jpg

stock offset wheels will rub the sway bar and upper control arms with anything over 285

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
