Thank you. I just want to level the front without forfeiting ride quality or warranty. I contacted Chevrolet a while back to see if installing the front only would hold the same warranty as the full kit, but they didn't have an answer.

they cant void a warranty unless they can "prove" your aftermarket part caused the damage......since it is their part your using I am guessing that will be tough.....I wouldn't worry about it

Ok, the struts are part number 84535467.  Stock coil springs are reused. 

 

So the lift comes from the longer strut?  Could 2wd owner install the front struts, retain the coil springs and essentially get a factory 2in leveling kit?

Yes, they actually make a factory 2" lift kit for 2wd trucks.

Yeah, seen that kit.  I would suspect their would still be some rake.

 

Figured using the oem front 2" lift struts would accomplish same thing as the RC 2" leveling strut kit.  For less money and use oem parts.

Im looking for the part numbers to the struts that come in the GM 2 inch lift (trailboss).

the entire kit has the part # of 84629787 , I simply wanna install the front portion of the parts and not lift the rear.

I located the cv axles which are 84554912 and are $171.87 per gmpartsdirect.com  but I cannot find the struts. If anyone has the strut part numbers that would be great. this is all going on my 2019 rst z71

Rancho RS66310R9 just released a front leveling kit that does not require cv axles rs66310r9_1.jpg

That rancho setup is slick! 

I agree. I have it in my cart. Think I might just pull the trigger.

yeah I  think theirs better options than the ranchos for sure....and still inexpensive

 

and the GM kit doesn't require new CV axles....you can run em just like any other leveling strut....they just have em available and it comes in their kit.....not bad idea and you can buy them seperately

 

Eibach is probably best leveling strut currently....belltech makes one too but not familiar with them, see them in a lot of lowered vehicles

Has anyone installed this setup or had it installed from the dealer? Looking at the OEM setup from from GM for 2” of lift or going with the Eibach pro tuck system.

 

If anyone has installed either, what size tires did you run?

Any pictures?

I had the dealer install on my 2020 SLT.  It’s same as on AT4 and Trailboss so look at those if you wanna get an idea of what it looks like.  Right now the parts are 20% off from gmc’s website, pretty good savings on a 1295 buck part.  I’m still running the factory 33’s, looks fine.

What did that run you at the dealership? I was checking out from the website and added the dealer install, but it was $633.00. Holding off for now as I am comparing the Eibach pro trick setup.

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
