Trail Boss custom level kit

[20silverado20]

When leveling the Trail Boss custom 1500, is it recommended to replace the bottom control arm / ball joint?   My kit came with the uppper, and a spacer.

You replace the upper control arm, NOT the bottom. The angle of the ball joint needs to be adjusted for the lift, hence the new upper control arm with revised ball joint angle.

So i got my kit put on, its a 2 inch level kit from readylift.  Now the top of my tires look angled out like the camber is off. Will an alignment fix this? I wasn't sure if its adjustable on a 2020 sliverado trail boss custom 4.3L

Yes you need an alignment. The camber adjustment is in the lower arms on the T1's. Previous gen trucks the upper arms were where the camber alignment was located.

Get.  New.  Upper.  Control.  Arms.

 

You WILL find yourself on the side of the road with a blown ball joint if you leave the stock arms on a leveled Trail Boss or even a non Trail Boss.  

 

New arms then align.

Your camber will be off after a level/lift.  Take it to firestone and get a lifetime alignment for a less than $200, and bring it back in for a free alignment whenever the bug hits you.  Its worth every penny, especially if you have a lift.

Ok thanks.  I just wasn't sure if the camber could be adjusted with these trucks.
