Heres the info on the kit.  It's a full 2 inch lift kit with a bunch of other parts and a warranty.  The kit is $1295 and I believe the install is $400-600.  It's the same as what comes stock on the Trail Boss

I'm interested in this.  I'm supposed to pick up my new Sierra 1500 CC short box this weekend and am trying to get my dealer to install it.  They seem a bit clueless about it.  Any reviews on it?  If it's the same as the Trail Boss/AT4 suspension lift, how do they ride?  I'm usually not a fan of Rancho shocks.

Where are you located?  I can get it put on at the Chevrolet dealership in Blissfield.

I’m in Saline, just south of Ann Arbor.  How much for the kit + install?

My dealership just got back to me and said $2300 out the door.  $1300 for the kit, $650 for install, and another $350 for alignment/steering calibration and taxes.  Does that seem a bit high?

Can you get any other lift? 350 for the alignment is expensive.

I lived near you at one time built homes all over saline

I thought the price of the kit included steering calibration...  They are ripping you off for that and the alignment.  I wouldn't pay more than $150 for the alignment.

It's the exact same setup as on the Trailboss.  I love the way it rides, smooth on the ride and absorbs bumps well.  15k miles and no complaints about the ride.

That is too high.  Try another dealer.  I believe the alignment and calibration are included.  Check the description in the link.

What's the gm install level kit cost?

They are taking you to the cleaners for the install and they alignment at $350

Most dealers charge based on the labor for the install (4.8 hrs) $450-500.  

 

Mine is going to be $1295 +$450

$1679 installed plus tax on parts, just like advertised on web sights.  The only thing I’m not sure of is if wheel alignment would be in install price.  I can’t imagine it not being included, but if not it’s $60 for an alignment.  We have done quite a few lifts and levels and a few 6” lifts and have never had any issues, but honestly have never done this lift kit yet.

    • Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose  
    • I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose  
    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
