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!

    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

    • And overpriced. I was in the Oshawa Truck Plant when they were being built. Very few. I could count on one hand how many I've seen since
