So I have been looking around for a level kit I think I want to go with a 2inch level on the front. 

But I'm not too sure on what one to get?

I have seen the rough country one for a reasonable price. I was also looking at motofab.

Is there any others that I should consider? Also with a level kit void a factory warranty? Post some photos of your level lift! Or give me some input on things to be aware about.

Sorry to beat that dead horse but there are TONS of threads about leveling kits my man. Just make sure they're compatible with 2017-18 models. 

 

Here is the lift I'm considering: 

 

Good Luck.

yeah, search around, you'll find more threads than you care to read about leveling kits.

 

Mods don't void the whole warranty, but adding a level kit may result in denied coverage for affected components on the front end steering, suspension, etc.

This is a link to a large, helpful and seldom entertaining thread.  I would re-name it,  The Rise and Fall of the Lift Kit.   You are wise to research the topic of levels and lifts before jumping in... learn from others' experiences.  You will soon discover that the actual initial cost and brand of a 2" level kit are perhaps the least significant part of the decision.

Now I read through a little bit and saw that level kits may cause issues and what not with the certain upper control arms. 

Thanks for the links!

Negatives are usually easier to find about most things but look for posts that support you.  I believe a 1-2" level will present minimal risk of future problems but it will not enhance the performance, efficiency or hauling capabilities of your truck.  A level kit will alter the appearance of your truck and may accommodate larger tires.  Choosing oversize tires present a whole new set of pros and cons!

That the OP should know is also well covered and can be answered searching rather than opening a new thread...

 

This is spot on and they are right about warranty, it will impact those parts that are directly related. Don't expect to get a ball joint or wheel bearing replaced but your AC system will be covered!

    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
