leveling kit do or don't?

Only if you want the front higher than the back!

Not true. I only have .5" of rake from the front to the rear. If i utilized the rear block I would still have an inch of rake from the front to the rear. I think it all depends on the configuration of the vehicle you have.

I just bought my 2015 about 2 weeks ago, all my trucks have been leveled, the only thing I've ever noticed after install is how much better they look. I leveled mine two days ago and showed my buddies who have 2014-15 seirras and they didn't know it made that much difference. I say go for it!

Does your have the Z71 suspension? I have read where that may also make a difference... I followed postings on this forum before I did my truck and it seemed that no 2 trucks are alike... JMHO.

No i just have the standard suspension associated with having a 4x4 and i have factory 20" rims. But i measured it out and in the beginning it was only a three inch difference and now its only 1/2 inch difference.

I'm pretty sure that the springs are the same and that the only difference is shocks, grill, badging and interior differences. I kinda wished I would have stayed with just the 2" level kit but I'm not gonna pull stuff off and have to pay for another alignment just to satisfy a seldom thought of indifference.

My truck does sit level but maybe just a bit too high for the tires I have now. I seldom pull a trailer and if I do it's a single axel, pretty lightweight stuff.

I have even read on here that some guys have seen differences from one side to another concerning the height of their truck. I get looks all the time and a lot of complements too so I'll leave it where it's at.... for now.

You have a 2.5"?

Yes, I have the 2.5" level lift kit from Rough Country. I have an LT Crew cab 4X4 and I do sit level front to rear.

I have not adjusted my headlights since i got my 2 inch last friday. I have not been flashed yet. Is there a chance I can leave them alone?

Have had mine on since February and never been flashed once. The truck sits low enough already, don't worry about it

Installed the 2.5" RC on my 15' crew. Looks great. Handles better i feel too, more stiff. Very happy. Sits level front to rear.

Its true Z71 has a higher rear, I was going to do 2.5 in the front and 1 in the back, however due to the z71 I only had to do the front

How many guys actually adjust their headlights after a 2" level? I'm having my level installed tomorrow and never thought about it to be honest.

I have had my RC 2.5" level since January and have had one person flash me and I didn't do anything to my headlights. I say don't bother trying to adjust them with a 2" level.

i have a z71 and called rough country yesterday...and was told the same thing...no point in 2.5 unless i really wanted the extra .5 inch...the 2' would level me perfect and with no disadvantages from the 2.5", can run same larger tires as desired.
