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.

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

    • Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive  
    • Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens? 
    • I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?
    • Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
