Anyone level a 2017 GMC All Terrain?

Just bought a 2017 GMC All Terrain. Requested they install a levelling kit, instead they did a 3" block in the back and a 2.25" level on the front to keep the "factory rake" I assume. I don't like it being that much higher in the back (especially since I wont be running huge tires).

 

It's going back to the dealership tomorrow. You guys recommend going back to stock (which is a 1" block I believe), or reducing it from a 3" to 2" so there is still some rake? I want it to be as level as possible without sagging while towing or hauling.

 

Thanks in advance for any opinions.

If you do not want to be too nose high while towing stay stock. Otherwise i think a 1.5 inch front level, stock rear, gives a good appearance while still keeping descent towing.

I tow 9000lb trailer with Summo springs " replaces stock bumpstops. In rear

Rear does not squat 1.5 level kit does give front up ride FWIW

I have a 2" front level and nothing in the rear. I still have a little rake. I would just have them remove the rear they added and put the rear back to stock. Should look perfect. Here's mine

Tough call! The combination you currently have I think is ideal. You get a little lift and maintain the load carrying stance you expect from a truck. You are the only one that will notice what you decide.

I think it looks great. No rake looks wierd. Perfectly level with a tape measure looks nose high on the GMCs more than the Chevys. If you were gonna get rid of the rear, I would take out the whole kit and just do Billstins in the front. It will ride better with less issues.

    • I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?
    • Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL
    • Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.
    • Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
