Hi. Here are some pictures of my 2020 Sierra SLT after the GM 2 inch lift install. I know this has been mentioned but to clarify the alignment, reconfigure of front camera and install new electric power steering calibration are part of the package.

 

Came out great and definitely a different truck!

Sorry, don’t want to hijack this thread. Does anyone know if LTZ 3.0 duramax 4x4 can get the 2” lift? I just ordered the truck and the salesman did not know because it was not pulling the lift up on the gm accessory pages. I checked later and it is not pulling the lift up for any config it seems. I found some documents that mention it can not be nstalled on LT or LT 2wd 3.0. 

 

It isn’t a deal breaker for me, but it looks so bad ass. Hopefully with the 2” lift it can fit in 7ft door. 

I'm having my LTZ Z71 Duramax getting the GM 2" lift as we speak.  I'll post pictures when I pick it up Friday evening.

Please post pictures! I have a LTZ diesel ordered and very interested in the gm lift. The dealer seems to not. Know if it could be installed on the 3.0. Guess it can. Congrats!

There really shouldnt be a difference photo wise between what has been posted and a diesel truck I mean the engine is under the hood and doesn’t really affect the suspension

Nice, looks great! Notice any difference in ride quality? Also if you get a chance this weekend, could you get a measure for front fender to ground and rear fender to ground? I’m curious what kind of rake you have after the lift. I only have about 1.25” difference between the front and back on my stock LTZ. Thanks!

 

 Edit: Could you also get an after pic from the same angle as your before pic?! Sorry for so many requests! Haha

I went to the GM parts website and found the kit for $1068.38.  But upon reading the info, it states the kit is for the 2020 Silverado 1500 and the 2019 Sierra 1500. States it will not fit the 2019 Silverado 1500. Any thoughts or ideas on this?  And they are offering two kit with different part numbers both for 4wd 

Performance, Suspension Lift Trail Boss, 4WD      Part Number: 84629787

Performance, Suspension Lift Trail Boss, 4WD          Part Number: 84649981

 

Both of those are old part numbers. Current Part No. 84768243 fits 2019 Silverado 1500 4WD (except for the exclusions below) 

The 2-inch Suspension Lift cannot be installed on all regular cab trucks, 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom Trail Boss and LT Trail Boss, all Max Trailering Package trucks (NHT), all Snow Plow Prep-equipped trucks (VYU), or any 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 equipped with composite rear leaf springs (Chevrolet LT Trim with 5.3L V8 engine (L84) - Chevrolet LT Trim, Short Bed with 3.0L Turbo Diesel engine (LM2)

Original Part No. 84629787 was replaced by 84649981 which was then replaced by 84768243 on Chevys Accessory website for 4WD Silverados. 

 

Part No: 84649982 replaced 84629789 for 2WD Silverados

 

Other websites are still selling kits with old part numbers. Not sure if GM found a problem with the old ones and have adjusted the parts but I'd look for the most recent part number. 

 

Here's the link to the kit for my RST but you can change to your vehicle at the top to verify your current Part No.

I have the max tow. From what I understand it is not compatible with my truck. From what people are saying, it’s because of the thicker composite leafs on the rear. I’m wondering if this lift would still work. Prrhaps I could just find a more appropriately sized rear block and install the rest. Any insight?

If you don't mind sharing, what did the Dealer charge to install the lift?  Or is that included in the purchase price of the kit $1295?

The install is not included in the kit but an Electronic Power Steering Calibration is included and Front Camera Reconfiguration if needed.

Most Dealerships have an hourly code they use to install accessories, one near me (Oregon) charges $95/hr for accessories with approximately 4.5 hours labor on the 4WD kit. About $430 total.

I paid about 1050 for the kit and had a buddy (master mechanic at a dealer)  install it.

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
