'23 Sierra Leveling Options?

[KinkyDuramax]

Just passed 6000 miles and I want to get the truck leveled. My 2020 truck is leveled from using bilstein 5100s. It's rock solid for the last 45k miles, but it's a bit stiff. Now that I have a '23 Sierra, the stock suspension is pretty soft and I dig it for long drives. Now, that I'm still under factory warranty - Should I consider looking at a 2" leveling kit from the GM Accessories store, it includes a camera recalibration. I have a '23 Elevation with the turbomax motor. I would prefer to retain the feeling of it being soft ride rather then a stiffer one. Am going to keep the stock wheels with the stock A/T tires option. 

 

Any thoughts?

The GM kit is NOT a leveling kit.  It is a front and rear LIFT kit that is made up with the same components found in the Trail Boss/AT4.  It is also the only route that is GM factory warranty safe.

Well that's a bummer. It's also an expensive kit. If that's the case, then that means it still has that rake. What are my other options? I see people install like 1.5" leveling kit from ReadyLIFT and call it a day? Or go back to the idea of bilsteins again? Unless some other options..

Are you looking to go up in the front or down in the rear?

Fox 2.0 IFP's will be softer than the 5100's but still be an upgrade over stock. They have some that re-use your stock coils like the 5100's and some that come with new coils. Fox uses a lighter spring rate on their coil overs compared to Kings/Icons so it works a bit better with our 2.7L's being a bit lighter. They also valve different (progressive Vs. digressive)

 

If you use the clip style like the 5100's, the more preload on the spring, the stiffer it will be. 

 

Spacer lifts just compress everything and thus make the shocks want to over-extend beyond what the ball joints are spec'd to handle. You have point A & B, but you just moved point A closer to point B without changing the length of A. So now its gonna wanna push past point B. If that makes sense. 

 

Eibach makes a kit now which is on par with Fox/Bilstein 2.0's also.
