Ok this is just a general question to everyone who may have or is thinking of leveling their GMC or Chevy.

What is the general height u guys r using as a leveling kit ? 2 inch , 1.5? Reason I ask is on my 08 GMC sierra all it needed was a 1.5 inch 2 was to much, & for the most part all I seem to see is 2 inch for the 2014's.

All info is helpful, I have a 2 inch kit picked out just don't want to have the front lifted too much . Also is removing the plastic valance worth doing?

Thanks in advance for advice.

A 2" kit will get you perfectly level with the rear.

 

The lower valence is completely up to your liking. I didn't get any change in gas mileage after I took mine off but mine is a little taller than your talking about going.

 

There are quite a few posts on this topic. Here is the most recent that I know of

I have a 2" RC leveling kit on my 2008 and it sits about 3/4" higher in back than front. I like the fact I can load up the bed and not have it squat. I'm running 285-70-17 tires.

I have a 1.5" lift and 285's and it looks great even when pulling a trailer. There is a little rake but you can tell it is leveled.

    • Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.
    • Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue. 
    • I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
    • Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
