leveled w/33s 2500

[brewguy101]

Our new work trucks, removed / cut front air dam, ready lift keys, bilstien front shocks, 285/70r 17 cooper stt

 

 

Started with 9" of ground clearance at the front bumper just in front of the tire. Now have 21" of ground clearance.

Looks good. Now when you say keys... did the 2015 hd retain the torsion bar suspension of the older hd models? Just curious here

Exact same suspension, motor/ drivetrain as the 11-14's, the part numbers on the keys and shocks matched the part numbers on a 13 2500 I did 2 weeks ago.

Gotcha. For something the dubbed obsolete they sure insist on torsion bars for the hds...

You got a front shot of that without the lower valance?

Truck looks good

[brewguy101]

Doesn't look great but looks better than if we ripped it off off-road. We are pretty hard on bumpers.

Looks good without the valance. I don't understand why GM made it a one piece deal on the Silverado HD but the GMC HD you can remove the lower portion. Dumb IMO.

How much harsher did the ride get after leveling the truck? A honest answer would be appreciated as i would like to do the same thing to mine when it gets in, but i did to a 2006 1500hd i had and the ride ended up being significantely harsher.

 

Thanks

The 2015s seem (to me) to ride softer than the previous years. It only had 30 miles on it when i put the level and bilstiens on it so i didn't really notice any ride differance. My boss, who drives a 2013 chevy 1500, said it rode to rough for him. But honestly we run them with 75+ psi in the tires, you can drop that down a little bit if the ride is too harsh.
