YEP! I think this ^^^ is on its way. I think the ZR2 has shown that it can be done. I also realize they have to have some tricks up their sleeves when the model starts getting long in the tooth. Im thinking we have 3-4 years before we see this^^^.  Cant wait!

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

Kit won’t work with NHT

So will the kit bolt on or not bolt on to an LTZ with trailer/max (with the 3.42 gears) towing package, or is it just not recommended?

I don't see why it wouldn't bolt on. They are probably more concerned with the shock tuning and getting rid of the 2" rear high rake that's there down to a ~1" . All of your suspension components are the same in the rear except for the added block and shocks .

Supposedly the rear springs are “heavier duty” but I’m not sure what that entails. Beyond that it probably comes down to liability and diminished towing capacity making the original NHT ratings unsafe or inaccurate after install.

 

I would say for sure the warranty on the parts would be gone. Installing them on an NHT would give GM an easy “out” on that.

Anyone know what wheels those are ?

Speaking about the at4 you can get the 6.2 in a loaded lifted truck but no 342.

But at least it’s a 10 speed which 3:23 is equivalent to 8 speed and 3:73

Rough country has a kit that lifts the front 3" and 1.5" in the back. Only cost $700 and looks pretty simple to install. Way cheaper than the gm kit and actually levels the truck.

That may be. I honestly know nothing about this lift. I do know that Rough Country lifts are usually on the cheaper end both in price and quality. But it may be an option for someone looking for a cosmetic look that doesn't really use it off road.

Plus you get the waranty with the gm kit

Yeah agreed. Nothing like being able to take your truck back to dealer for any and all issues. If you can swing more money do the gm kit which comes with eveytning

My LTZ with 6.2 is on order and will get the 2 inch lift at dealer, along with all the black parts. 

 

The truck will still need a leveling kit? Because even trail boss trucks have a rack.

[Sierra Dan]

If it were me and my truck I would go aftermarket.

Less expensive and not as many components to install.

Then again the benefit of the GM kit would be that it should be covered by a warranty depending on installation.
