Level Before and After Pics

[GMGH]

Looking to instal a 2.5 level on my 2016 Sierrra All Terrain Dbl cab. Wanted to see before and after pics of different brands installed before finalizing my decision. Please post pics, brand, ride experience changes. Also, any insight as to rancho shock compatibility is also welcomed. Thanks! 

 

Pic is current.

Run as fast as you can from Rancho....

Ok, so I’ll give a little background: I had the Bilstein 5100s with a Zone 2" level for 3 years. I recently changed out to an Eibach Pro Truck Lift 2.5" which was too stiff for my taste, so I ended up buying a Halo Lifts Boss Coilovers and run it at 3’’ with a Zone 1.5 body lift. The ride is exceptionally better.

Why not look thru the leveling  kit thread in this section.

Nice. I like how that sits. Gives me a pretty good idea of what mine would look like. Thanks for posting!

dcarl, 

 

Thanks for input. Rancho’s were stock and I won’t be upgrading for a while. I have read of many who have installed the bilstein 5100’s, in fact many recommend them it seems. I’m hoping to keep the ride quality as unchanged as possible.

2 1/2” leveling kit on 22x12 American Force Blades running 305/45R22 tires. NorCal mod done and have zero rubbing even full lock in reverse.

I did Bilstein 5100 on the top setting (1.8") and then added a 0.25" spacer under the shocks for another 1/2" and a total of about 2.25" level.  Ride is slightly firmer from the Bilstein, but much more controlled.  Not uncomfortable in any way.  I felt no difference going from just the Bilstein level to later adding the spacer underneath.

Before and after 2 inch level

I’m still contemplating between 2 and 2.5 motofab.  Do any of you who went 2[sh] wish you had gone higher?

I’m liking the slight rake with the 2”.

I agree...  This is definitely in my truck's future.

I went with the 2.5 motofab. Love how it turned out but now, after an alignment, I notice movement in the steering wheel and what feels like a consistent bump in the wheel. I like’n it to the feel of the new Iphone X when quickly scanning. Iphone X folks will know what I’m talking about. Anyone have any thoughts?

Before and after Motofab 2.5” front/1” rear block and went from 275/55/20 tires to 275/60. Looks pretty level in the pic, but I actually have around 0.5”-0.75” rake. Exactly what I was looking for..

Love the truck with the plates out of the bar but you should take your air dam off
