I’m confused now lol. I thought it helped me as there is only a 2” rake as opposed to my 4” rake. No?

I meant it doesn’t identify which is the problem area

 

i was not expecting the front and rear to be way off

[truckguy82]

I looked at your picture like 5 times, and I was like 

 

ok the rears too high, oh wait no its the front that’s too low, or wait maybe it is the rear. I kept going back and forth in my head. Low and behold the front is too low and the rear is too high.

I thought they all had too much rake. My 14 Texas edition looked like my 74 barracuda with high jackers on it. I took out the spring block it helped some.

I dont know about you guys but I’ve never seen a truck with as much rake as the OP’s.

 

i don’t think that’s just a normal variance

 My 2018 Denali is stock and has the 4" rake also.   

 

This  works fine for me when towing with a bumper hitch and 800 lbs of trailer tongue weigh the truck has a level ride.  

 

The one one thing that it does have from the factory was a tow rating of 9100 lb of towing capacity.  Maybe the rake is spring related ?

My truck has way less rake than 4” and I put 2500lbs of bricks in my bed, then it was level. I literally measured it and it was dead level.

 

not sure how 900lbs of tongue is making your 4” rake level

Brand new on the drive home. NHT max tow package.

After adding 5100 for 1.85” of front lift I now have 1.5” - 2” of rake.

Ok been at this all morning. 
 
don’t see any leaks from shocks. And the rear blocks and shackles are for sure stock. 
 

and I agree 4” of rake is crazy. I personally have never seen one with that much either. And I’ve owned a 04 Silverado ss, 07 vortexmax, 14 crew cab, and now this. Maybe on a dually 4” rake is normal. 

 

 Should I take to dealer and see if they see something wrong?  

 

What are my options for leveling?  Should I get front leveling kit and rear drop shackles?  I was looking at the maxtrac 2/5 drop kit but I really don’t even want to lower it that much. It’s always something

I like to visit dealers on Sunday when they are closed. You can take a tape measure and measure from center of hub to bottom of fender to see how much your truck is off compared to other k2xx.

If you take it in to have the dealer look at it, use this helpful quote, ok the rears too high, oh wait no its the front that’s too low, or wait maybe it is the rear. I kept going back and forth in my head. Low and behold the front is too low and the rear is too high.

 

They will know exactly what to fix...…...

I really don’t want to be at a dealership when they are closed walking around looking for my model. Having a shaved head and tattoos and walking around a closed dealership with a tape measure I will be looking super suspect lmao
