GM 2" lift installed

Porterhouse · February 24, 2020

I have under 500 miles on it so far. I was afraid to tint the front and the window be cracked when they were replacing my headliner. It will be tinted this week tho.

Got mine back, the leveling kit I had (spacers) wouldn’t work so I ordered a rough country level which is going to be installed on Friday (need more clearance) pretty happy with how it turned out, I didn’t take any before and after shots but changing the wheels and tires it wouldn’t of been very helpful anyhow... ran out of daylight today I’ll post some more tomorrow

Were those the factory wheels and tires on your truck? They look horrible! What are your new wheel and tire specs?

Haha, yes they were factory on an SLE Sierra. Truck was so ugly I almost didn’t buy it. New wheels are Fifteen52 Turbomac HD in bronze, 20x9 -12 wrapped in BFG Ko2 295x55x20.

yeah I saw his kit on ebay, did they charge you tax or no?

My local dealership is telling me this kit won't work on my 2020 LT 4x4 Shortbox Z71 3.0 Duramax but has not idea why as it's the same kit offered on the AT4 duramax 3.0 shortbox and the TB. Anyone have any idea the reason behind this? I'd like to do a 2" lift and keep the warranty intact.

Thanks,

Does your truck have any of the following?

THE 2-INCH SUSPENSION LIFT CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON: • All Regular Cab trucks • All GM Plant-built lifted trucks (Z7X), including the Next-Gen 2019 Sierra AT4 • All Continuous Damping/Magnetic Ride Control trucks (Z45), including the Next-Gen 2019 Sierra Denali • All Enhanced Towing-equipped trucks (NHT) • All Snow Plow Prep-equipped Trucks (VYU)

If not, the kit can be installed on your truck. Find a different dealer.

Dealer finally got someone from from GM on the phone. Apparently we are good to go. One sheet had my model as good to go....another sheet had it not allowed. We've got it on order and will install. All warranties will be valid.

Thanks

I wonder if instead of buying the whole gm kit, someone could just order the two Front struts by themselves, without the rear blocks or the cv axles. Should be all you need for just a level.
Look at all the people running level spacer with the standard axles without problems, so far anyway.

Just buy 2 front eibachs....that will give you a 2" lift......more if you use their springs....$280 for fronts

Belltech and rough country sell some too....

Hi everyone. Got mine done back in mid January. I posted pics on another thread but I did get all my original parts back as well.

Dealer had them all boxed up and ready when I picked up my truck.

Anyone else notice there’s a GMC wheel on the front but a Chevy wheel on the back??

Anyone else want to jump on the bashing my truck bandwagon, feel free. Hit a pothole and cracked the inside of the rear wheel it was a cheap fix knowing I was getting a new set of wheels. Dealer had that one laying around. I didn’t even notice to be honest. I was simply trying to give an idea of the transformation that the truck has been through which I thought was quite good but no one can focus on what it looks like now.
