Around here, many dealership will install leveling kits before it's even put up for sale.

 

Possible some of the pictures you find on dealer websites are of trucks done up like that.

Top pic is a (fake) stock photo. I have seen it used on numerous different dealer sites.
Makes sense . Should be how they are all sold. Looks so much better

Without the rake, the truck would sag in the back as soon as you put any payload in it or tow with it.  I personally like the raked look better on these 19s and my 15 was leveled lol

I agree. The take on the K2s was really bad. But the T1s - especially with 20s - look excellent. 

 

Pics don't really show it, either. Just like the front grill. It looks better in person.

A LOT of dealers are using these CGI ones with the T1s I have noticed. Must be a new GM thing to help smaller dealers move the trucks.

Here’s a couple more pics I just took to reiterate the point z1boss and I make... 

 

Parked on a slight incline in my driveway, and it basically looks level.

Thank you! 

 

I went through Chick-Fil-A for lunch today, and my receipt said "Gray Truck". I almost lectured them. Satin Steel, people! Very different! :D :smash:

Two dealers close to me are selling TB's with level kits in them and wont tell you unless you ask ... but every other ones I've seen have the rake , even mine ... and YEAH  its doesnt look as bad in real life compared to the picture , the rake is barely noticeable

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
