Lift K2 the way T1 Trailboss/AT4 are lifted

[bcarroll22]

Hello all, long time reader first time poster.

 

I love the way the new AT4/Trailboss looks with the factory lift. I know it's also an option on the other T1 trims from the factory as well. I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction with how I could lift my K2 the way those two are lifted. I'm assuming the way they've done it doesn't maintains a great ride quality and the default rake.

 

Any ideas how I could accomplish that (~2" front and rear lift) on the previous gen using the same method they use to lift the Trailboss/AT4?

My B. GM doesn't offer a lift for the older body style.

You can ger a 2" spacer in the front. Boom amd done

K2XX and T1XX have very different frames. I believe T1xx uses a longer strut and different springs?

 

The cheapest lift is a rough country 2" or 2.25" front strut spacer and rear spacer.

 

I highly recommend lifting using Bilstein 5100 in front and leave rear as is, just replace shocks. Or swap rear lift block with a larger one.

 

I lifted the front of mine 1.75" 3rd from top setting on 5100's. I Left my rear alone and still have 1.5" of rake.

I know I could get a 2” leveling kit or a pair of front 5100s, I guess I should clarify that my question is more if anyone knows exactly what they do to lift the Trailboss and AT4, and then if it would be possible to very closely replicate that set up with my 2017. 

 

Just trying to keep everything as close to OE as possible, and figured following the cues of the T1 would be a good way to do it.

I don't know of any after market kit that includes axle shafts.

Based on the parts in that picture, I wonder what would make this kit not (at least mostly) fit on a previous gen? It seems like the rear blocks and shocks would fit at least, but I guess parts like the axle shafts might be tough?
