thanks guys!

I installed the 2" front kit tonight.. PAIN on the '15 4x4s!

Im happy with it.. quick measure was 39" upfront(was 37") and rear is at 40".. I have the 1/2" front and 2" rear block if anyone wants them at a good deal :D

how are you guys loosening the upper ball joint? mine just spins in place(2015 gmc sierra 1500 z71 4x4).. we tried putting pressure on it in different ways.. sometimes we could get the top to stop moving but most of the time not.. ended up not messing with that and just took the bolts off and moved the axle to the side to get the bolts thru the spacer. wasnt that hard, but we tried forever on the upper ball joint :(

Idk if it's the same for the GMC but on the chevy if you put an Allen wrench on the bottom of the bolt it keeps it from moving.

On my '14 Chevy I used a pair of vice grips to keep it from spinning.

I have a 2015 Sierra 1500 All Terrain with 2" level (stock 1.5" rear blocks). I put 295/60r20 on stock wheels. They had a very slight rub on front inner wheel liner at full lock, but it was fixed easily by a zip tie. I originally put 275/60 on there cuz the tire shop didn't thing the 295/60 would fit. They were wrong! The 295/60 looks 100% better. I have Toyo Open Country AT 2. The 295/60 is the Xtreme version so it is noisier/heavier than the 275/60 due to the wider Xtreme tread pattern...but it looks way better! I also added a 1/4" RCountry spacer to the wheels to get a little more width for astetics.
