After installing the leveling kit I noticed that the truck sits higher in the front. So I measured the front vs. the rear and found out the front sits 0.5" taller than the rear. I ordered Pro Comp 2" blocks and U-bolts. Which arrived today, and I will be installing those this week.

If you look underneath the front skid plate there is the power steering rack. There are three plugs there. I unplugged mine when I installed the kit.

Thanks for that. I ended up riskin it and not unpluggin them because i couldnt find em. Still steers normal and drives normal. The truck looks alot better. I put the 2.5 inch only up front and left the rear stock. It measures to be 39.5 up front and 40 in the back. I think all these trucks seem to sit a little differently

You could have just disconnected the battery to be safe.

OK so I have the 2.5'' RC lift, and I am reaady to buy tires, but I'm not sure which ones to get. I know they both will fit, my problem is fitting it into my garage. I was hoping to get some height info form guys with the RC set up that have 275/60/20's vs 275/65/20's.

 

It came stock with 18's so right now with just the lift i have about 4 or so inches before I hit the garage door.

I just put a 2" leveling kit on my truck (nothing in the back) and new Toyo Open Country 275/65/20s on my Sierra All Terrain. I just went out to the garage and measured. I don't think it's exact, as it's tricky to eyeball the top of the car and hold the tape measure, but it looks to be about 75" at the highest part.

 

On another note, I did have to have the installers trim the felt in the wheel wells a little to get the tires not to rub, but I'm glad I went with the 65. The truck looks great and handles very well.

I do know 275/65R20 are 34.1" Tall. If you look up your existing tires (275/55R20 are 31.8") you can just subtract the diff. (2.3") and be some what close.

Here's my new Sierra All Terrain SLT 6.2 w/ 2" tuff country leveling kit and 275/65/20 Toyo Open Country tires. The tires were rubbing a little at full turn, so I had the install guys trim the felt a little. It works perfectly now and the tires look great.

I have the 2.5" RC lift with 275/60R20 Cooper at/3, I measured before and after, the lift and tires gained me 3" lift in the front and 1.5"-2" in the back. Keep in mind that all tires in 275/65R20 size are LT tires. Many P tires are available in 275/60R20 size.

After measuring its exactly 37" in the front and 38" in the back. It still looks uneven but on flat surface it looks great. Lowers it enough my wife and kids enjoy it also.

Just ordered the TGP 1.5''. I Tow so I will probabbly install as a 1'' then see how it look/tows and can always add the other spacer. Also don't want too thick of a spacer and deal with ball joint issues.
Each spacer (top or bottom) is adds 1/2'' lift.

I Don't know if the 4x4 and Z71 sit the same, but I really liked the 1.5 this guy did on his z71.
I still like some rake so the front doesn't "look" higher than rear (mabye something to do with body lines??)

Then add a set of A/T tires in 275/60/20 OWL (mabye these Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar 640AB & Max Load 2,680, I was looking at Cooper AT3 but dont come in OWL) and done...for now.

    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
    • With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?
