Anyone running the 2” rough country leveling how was the ride after install?

I just put this level on 2 weeks ago. Ride is good very smooth. I have the factory 18's and was not sure about width for the new tires so I decided to run  285/75r18 which is 34.8 by 11.2. I have a slight rub with this height at full lock in reverse. I do want to in the next year or so look at replacing the UCA. I have yet to find one for these, but ready lift said they should be close and they will include it with their level when released in mid August.

Looks great.  The new Chevy's really wear any kind of lift very well.

I would shy away from the Ready Lift UCA. There are MUCH better options out there that use better pivots (ball joints, uni balls, bushings). Personally I would stick with a billet aluminum UCA as it takes out any possible deficiencies from the welder or fabrication process.

Personally I'm going with the Camburg UCA and adjustable King coilover shocks front & rear.

Very nice. So basically you did a reverse level?
Do you have a link to the drop shackles that you purchased? Also which airbags did you use? if I do anything to my truck suspension wise it would be something like you did.

I've always had a lot of luck with CCM Offroad leveling kits on my previous GMs (2005 Sierra Crew, 2007 Tahoe LTZ, 2007 Sierra Denali, 2008 GMC Yukon SLT). I just ordered their 2.5" Front/1" Rear for my 2020 SIerra SLT x31 going off of the users on this thread saying 1.5" will make it level.

 

I usually run pretty narrow (12") Toyo M/Ts on OEM wheels. Mine has the OEM 20" wheels, does anyone know that the largest tires that'll fit without rubbing, even at full lock? Thbanks in advance.

No help here, but I am wanting to do something similar to my 2020 LTZ Z71. Keep us posted!

So far I only see 1 front level "approved" by the manufacturer for the AT4 -- Rough Country SKU: 1318.  

My dealership has 3 leveled AT4s on the lot, and states the level kit will remain under factory warranty if installed and aligned by them for $875.  I am yet to verify this part number and take measurements of the trucks on their lot (I am away at work for a couple of weeks), but the parts department just stated they are using Pro Comp part number 63235, a 2.25" level.

Any thoughts?

I think its because chevy or gmc have a deal with pro comp or RC to do all their factory lifts, so chevy makes money on the lift and gets a better deal on parts from pro comp or RC....pro comp and RC get chevy and gmc business and free advertising....so its a win win.....its not that their lifts or levels are superior

 

same way chevy has a deal with rancho for trail bosses.....everyone knows ranchos aren't best shocks out

 

chevy and gmc make thousands extra for just a few hundred spent on kits, and rancho makes out having their stuff on all Z71 and TB truck

 

dealer knows that out of all kits installed only handful will come back for warranty, so their still way ahead profit wise.....they know based off previous years what the ratio will be so its just business...

 

its all about max profit, not best performance for customer.....

Got it done. The 1.5 is perfect.  2 inches would have been too much. 

What leveling kit did you go with? Looking to do the same on my HC. Did you keep stock tires or go up in size since the install?

I went with the MotoFab Lifts 1.5 inch leaving kit.  Left stock wheels/tires for now.  Torn on what to get.  If you tow anything heavy I would add at least an inch block to the rear as she squats a lot.

How is the ride compared to stock? Wondering if I should upgrade struts at the same time. Planning to run a 275/65/20 tire on stock wheels.

I am running a 2” rough country top coil spacer and 2 block on the rear with a shock extension in the rear  And some 35x12.50R20 on my 2020 1500 Duramax. The ride is still smooth i don’t feel a different on the ride quality
