@kylant
 

No trimming

i didn’t do pisk. The shop said they really don’t think it’s needed for this adjustment

we didn’t discuss diff drop. Do you or anyone have opinion on if that’s needed for this?

smoked the fender the lights. They take them off and paint them translucent black from the inside. They still light up orange when on but black when off.

I have a superlift 3” on my new 2020 2500hd.  Kit includes new upper control arms, keys, front diff drop, rear 1.5” blocks and shock spacers for all four corners.  I switched out the factory Rancho shocks with bilstein 5100’s.  Running 37in ridge grapplers on factory 18” wheels.  It rides better than stock, tires rub only on frame (towards the cab) at absolute full lock.  I did cut the felt fender liner slightly on the front bumper side of the fender well.

this is my truck....love that look tho 35s would be sufficient for me?....but i like factory rims and have same ones.....so they just use torsion crank for lift it looks like......i wouldnt mind leaving block out and just getting another inch or so out of front.....it doesnt ride alot stiffer with keys cranked?

The front end height is achieved with new keys that are indexed differently than the factory keys, but doing that alone will give you a stiff ride.  That’s why the lift includes new upper control arms-to allow for appropriate travel between the bottom of the arm and the metal frame stop.  It also includes front differential drop spacers, which eliminates the bound up feel that these have when you just crank the keys up.  Those things, along with the shock spacers, will keep the ride nice.  I drove a truck for a day with this same setup on factory rancho shocks and I can say that my upgrading to bilstein 5100’s was well worth it.  There is a noticeable difference in ride quality.
 

The rear block, to me, was essential, because these new trucks have a lot less rake than in years prior, so you aren’t raising the front much before you are slightly higher than the rear.  I would not want more than the 1.5” block in the rear for me personally.  I’m not a tall guy and this truck sits up high by most anyone’s standards like this.  
 

35’s with this setup on factory wheels will certainly work, and if 35’s is all you want, I’d leave the rear block out.  I have a close friend who has nothing in the rear with 35’s on factory 20’s.  It looks good, looks proportionate to the front just being slightly higher than stock.  But it does not have the stance that my truck has, not even close.  You could mistake his for being totally stock if you didn’t know better.

I'm thinking of getting the same kit. Was there a noticeable difference in the stance after installing it? I'd hate to install this kit and not get much of a difference in height.

There is a huge difference in stance once the kit is installed.  You will not be disappointed in that regard.  My previous pic here doesn’t really do it justice.

I had a 6" on my 1500 but these new 2500s are already a little higher so i figured with the 3" kit it would look good. Really dont wanna get into cutting this one up although I like the look of a 5 or 6" kit. I'll mo as t likely gonwith this 3" kit. Also u upgraded to the bilstein shocks. Were they specific to the model truck or just general 5100 shocks

The shocks were ordered from summit racing, which was the fastest shipping of anyone I found.  They are specific to a GM 2500/3500 for 2020, although they may fit previous years, not sure on that.
 

front part number 24-253161

rear part number 24-196468
