So what separates the elevation edition from others? I mean I realize it sits higher but how do they achieve it? Spacers? shocks? Body lift?

I haven't read anything to indicate that they have a lift from factory.

Its basically an "all black package" Its been a popular package for Dodge with their Express lineup.

Wonder why they call it elevation edition? I was assuming it came leveled or lifted.

2015 SLT in Diamond White with 5.3L v8. Stock tires and rims 20".

3" leveling kit. Rough country kit $72.00 shipped. Actually raised the front of the truck 2 3/4 inches. front is 36 3/4 before, back is 39 1/4 before

and after front is 38 1/2, back stays same.

Borla cat back exhaust, bought at Jeg's and installed by midas muffler. Borla kit was $990 shipped.

 

Retrax pro rolling bed cover $1,800 I like the cover a lot but it takes up 14" of the front of the bed so you lose a lot of space in the bed

2" rough country, 1.5" zone. 295/70r18 trail grapplers with method mesh +18 offset. They stick out about 1/4" to 1/2" past the fender.

They rub the fender liner at full lock in forward and reverse.

truck looks good I really want to put 35s on mine. I have the 2.5 not the 2 tho. What is your offset.

Pretty much. Its just a gussied up base truck without having to go on up to SLE trim. Like the Silverado CST. Plus G80.

I wondered tbat myself but meh.

 

 

 

 

Joke is on everyone else though, this truck has the driver's assist handle.

Lol man that bothers me. What in the hell kind of name is that if the height of the truck hasn't been adjusted at all. They might as well have called it the "leveled edition" I'd be just as dumbfounded.

Changed up the look of my truck...No more color matched front

I'm not a huge fan of the new Chevy grille/headlight set up but I do like that. Looks like LineX? What did you do with your tow mirrors? My silver Sierra is coming with power fold tow mirrors and I want to ditch the chrome. Did you paint yours to match? I was going to black mine out with vinyl but I would like to see more pics of yours.

Couple questions for you - first, how much did Midas charge for the exhaust install? I couldn't find the Borla cat back on Jegs - do you know the part number. Finally, how do you like the Retrax (other than the bed space issue)? Is it water tight?

 

Your truck looks great!

Midas charged $150 for exhaust install.

jets part number is 157-140536.

cover works great and is water tight so far

Truck looks amazing! would you be willing to take some photos down the side to see how much the wheels stick out? Also did you put spacers in the rear?
