Hey everyone! Just registered this morning after reading hundreds of posts here when I was going through the conversion from DL3 mirrors to power folding camper mirrors. Also following the levelling kit topics since my truck is getting ready lift 2 1/4” front levelling and 1 3/4” rear lift blocks installed on Saturday (changing to GM aluminum upper control arms up front just to be safe)

Been a GMC guy all my life, first truck was a ‘05 Sierra 1500 ext. cab with lots of mods, now driving a 2016 Sierra 1500 SLE crew cab All Terrain which I’m slowly doing pretty much most of the same mods to.

Welcome and good luck with your mods. The level and mirror modifications are very popular with these trucks. Researching on this forum can save a lot of time, worry and money. If you're switching mirrors and haven't come across pgamboa, then you need to do more reading! He will make the transition painless for you. Also, two years ago my levelling plans were similar to yours. Level headed GMC-AT gave great advice on this topic. His advice and further research convinced me that a 1.5" front level will give the look I want, maintain some rake, easier on front end components and inexpensive.

Thanks Donstar! I read up on pretty much every post regarding the mirrors once the swap became a clusterf**k at the dealer. They originally installed the “accessory” mirror kit thinking that it would give me power folding. I had to show them a bunch of posts from here to prove otherwise, along with input from another dealer that ran into this problem on someone else’s truck. They installed the correct factory power folding mirrors last night, I only paid the difference in parts which I thought was fair. I considered 1.5 levelling for the front, but decided to go with the 2.25 ready lift kit because my truck lives on construction sites all day, any little bit of altitude helps. I would’ve loved to do a 4” lift but couldn’t come to terms with having to cut or even notch the rear cross member, and I really want to keep my stock AT rims
