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 was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
