Recently bought a 2019 High Country 4x4 and I'm looking to upgrade tires/level truck. I was set on the 2" RC leveling kit (link below) until I saw this thread. I don't want to add too much lift in the front, but also don't want to add too little. I don't plan to add anything in the rear and hope to run a 285/65/20 tire. Has anyone else added 1.5" or 2" to a High Country?

Will the leveling kit void your warranty on your truck?

Quick answer is no, but they can void an item like you ball joint, or other associated suspension part if they want, but warranty as a whole no.

For reference, here's before and after on my Denali.  Added 22x9.5 Mayhem Crossfire wheels because I hated stock Denali wheels and 33x12.50 Toyo AT2 because the Bridgestone A/Ts are junk.  Perfect fitment, no rub.

Do you still happen to have your Denali wheels and are they for sale? Please PM me if so.

Looks good.. I have mine on the way, 1.5" motofab. I was going to purchase ready lift 2" but I read it is like 2.25" so wanted to start more conservative. I'll have it installed in the next week or so..
To the OP... Did you align your truck after this leveling kit?

Did this level kit cause your cv boot to rub on the shock like one poster in this thread claims?

No it did not, I had no issues with that kit, I ran it for about 6,000 miles before I took them out because I lifted the truck.

I added the 1.5" top spacer after the 1.5" bottom spacer was pushing shock mount into cv boot.  After about a year the back started sagging and ended up about .5" lower than the front.  I just added a 1" rear spacer over the weekend.

I did the rough country 2 in lifted strut level and while it rides great I still feel I’m a half inch high in the rear. Pondering trying to put a spacer on top to give me the half inch or not. running 20x10 Arkon ceasar -25 with 33 kenda tires.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
