That's my pretty much exact truck! That looks great.. Thanks Jancoozer!

Found the forum it's posted on but doesn't say what brand or specific kit. Hmmmmmm.

Pretty much all levels are going to be the same. Strut spacers up front & optional blocks in the back.

PJ, Jackson & I all have a 2" front only level from AutoSpring. Powdercoated 1/4" plate steel with Grade 8.8 hardware. Mines been on for 1.5yrs with 0 issue & 33" BFGs. PJ installed his in his driveway with no issues and kept stock 32's. Jackson will be running 34's when his goes on. I'd check em out as they cover all makes.

for a gm anything level kit, i'd do one that includes front control arms, at a minimum.

Cognito arms have ball joints. One of the few.

One guy on here has a newer gm with a 6" bds lift. His name is cdh or ch with some numbers after it. He also has a gt500 I think.

Does the geometry on GMs get that far outta whack with just a 2" level?

well it's not so much the geometry, and it's not that it can't work.

it's that the "right way" in my opinion is to do control arms at the same time, to regain travel lost, if you lose it.

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

Gotcha. It seems like nobody on the Ferd side does UCAs until you get out of leveling kits (above 3")

 

[crooks]

I have almost 50k miles on my stock ball joints with a level. Most dont do arms with just a level. The angle isnt bad but its not stock.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah, but it'd ride better if you did.

I was planning on a 2.5" leveling kit for my Silverado with 33x12.5r20s

Just need to figure out the right kit and install

I saw a sharp F-150 today on I-90 pulling an Arctic Cat sticker'd trailer and it had a perfect stance. It was leveled with what looked like 33+ tires. Wish I could of gotten a picture.

 

[Shawn1112]

I did UCA's with just a level on my Ram 1500.
Fit 35's with no issues.

Nice work

What I don't get is if the front needs 2" to level it with the rear how do you level the front and lift the back and it's the same height front and back?

 

[10thSVT_03]

Also what looked like a brand new wrangler lifted with big tires went by me today and over some bumps and it sounded like loose change in a metal can. Rough Country sticker on the window..lol I laughed and thought of this thread.

might be a 4" front and 2" in the rear. but they call it a 4" kit.

but in the lowering world its split up front/rear. like my silverado has a 2/4 drop kit installed.

By installing bigger torsion bar keys or you can just turn up the stock torsion keys and it will level it a little.
