Is installing a TRAIL BOSS levelling kit on LTZ

[goose hunter]

Hi folks,  what's you take....Do you think installing a Trail Boss levelling kit on a LTZ is  something that can be done????

 

                                                                      GH

Yes.

 

Kit alone is $1295

Installation runs around $400 to $600

As @Sierra Dan mentioned, Chevy sells the kits for the Trail Boss and can be installed at the dealership.  Keep in mind though that is a 2" all around lift kit.  The truck does not sit level with this kit.  My Trail Boss has 1.5 inch of rake in the back.

The only other thing to look out for is that you can't install it if you have the max trailering package. I should say the dealer won't install it...

Do you know why that is?

Shock tuning rates.  NHT have a different towing oriented shock tuning, the Trail Boss lift kit has off road tuned Rancho shocks.

I am going to have this kit added to my HC when I order

Kinda wishing that a 3"  kit would be available...some places say they are 2019 compatible....i'm skeptical.

None of the previous gen lift kits are compatible with a 19.  There is a 4 inch lift kit available for the Trail Boss that turns it into a 6 inch lift but the actual 4 inch lift kits are not out yet

Ryan, the one you are getting is 2"??? So that's not going to level  according to z1boss….

Goose Hunter,  the Trail Boss kit is actually a 2" lift kit and not a "level".

Some here have added a 1.5" leveling key to their Trail Bosses to bring the front end more level to the rear, as the Factory Trail Boss still contains rake.

Thanks - I think Chevy sat in a room and actively plotted a flow chart to thwart my build....

Chevy Trail boss with 3.42 gear ratio - Nope

Chevy Trail boss 6.2 - Nope

Chevy LTZ 6.2 with max tow with the Trail boss lift/wheels/tires - Nope

 

Im trying to get Chevy to take my money but they dont seem to want to...LOL. 

 

There is literally no way to get a truck I want with the power I want from Chevy...and Im not looking for a race car. I just want an appropriately geared or engine size...Mind blowing.

Options for Success Chris:

 

Buy a Sierra AT4 to get your 6.2   

 

Buy a Silverado LTZ w/6.2 and Max Tow, then order a Trail Boss 2" Lift Kit ($1295)…... clean out the garage/stock the beer fridge and get to wrenching

The AT4 is looking better by the minute...I hope Chevy reads these forums. It would be one thing if I was asking for a fully blown LT4 with DSSV shock and AEV accessories (raptor killer).

 

I just want a truck that doesnt allow me to play a full game of monopoly with my family before hitting 60mph.
