GM 2" lift installed

Looks good, but damn, there's a lot of rake with this setup!  I'll be researching leveling kits for Trail Bosses now and the struts will have to come back off AND I'll have to pay for another alignment!

You switched lifts?

Yep.  The 4" was causing CVs to vibrate and drone too much for comfort.  I took it off and got a refund.  Went OEM this time to keep warranty in place without worry.

nice job staging your photos in the exact same spot. Makes it easy to compare.

 

I still think a little rake looks natural. I don't care for the "nose-high" look. And god forbid you ever haul anything in the bed afterword. Please, re-align your headlights if you change the angle of the truck.

It is a set of longer struts with different spring perch locations, longer CV's, front frame horn lowering brackets, and rear blocks with longer shocks.

I had my local Chevy dealer install it for me.  I got the kit on eBay from a dealer in Florida for $1,069.00 shipped.

Golden question.  What was your install cost?

[lapoolboy]

$721 + tax

[jimmyboy8301]

$721 + tax

That’s really not bad at all, ESPECIALLY for a dealer

Truck had Ranchos from factory and the kit included Ranchos also.  I think the only difference is the new ones are mono-tube maybe?
