@Chewy21 I've recently been looking into UCA and King Reservoir Coilovers. I've been running my 2.5" front level and 1.5" BL for a while now and figure it's about time to upgrade. Don't want to wear out front end components prematurely. Also, I'm running 22x12s on 33" Toyo MT. Maybe 35K on the front level so far.
 
View attachment 804657 2.5” level and 1.25” body, 33s and 20x10s -25 offset and will catch the liner in reverse so I’d have to say they’re trimming pretty good on x12s and 33s
I have no rubbing at all with my 22x12's on 33's. I'm also running 2.5" level and 1.5" body. It did rub with just the level, but not anymore. I have 4.5" backspacing on wheels though. I have Brownstone Metallic also :)
 
So I finally pulled the trigger on switching up the theme of the truck. Paint Match front end, Chrome 20x10 -25 ET, 33x12.50R20 Federals, N-Fabs removed, Rivet grill removed, changed emblems, mini led bar

So far I'm loving the clean style. Really want to go up another 1 or 2 inches but in a delimna on how to do it. Don't wanna run a glorified 3.5"/4" level, don't want to pay $1600 for a BDS 4" real suspension lift when a 5" RCX is only $1100, but I don't want 6.5"s of total lift lol

Any better options out there for a real 4" suspension lift?
I too didn't want to go too high on my 2017 Z71. I went with 2.25 RL and I am dropping off Thursday to add a Zones 1.5 BL. Here is a pic of the way it looks now and will post after the 1.5 BL

No shops around here will install a body lift. After doing 2 on previous vehicles, it’s not something I want to do in my free time anymore. What are they charging you for install if you don’t mind me asking?

I want to level my front end to match up with my rear. How can I find out what the level is my rear end?

Also someone else mentioned the California level in another thread. Can you please explain to me what that means? I'm assuming it is because one end is higher than the other as a new vehicle.

Rough country sells a 2" level for 50 bucks. A tire shop llike wheel works should be able to install it
 
Why even jack it up?

Just measure front and rear fender heights. Buy a level that equals the difference :shrug:
The front and rear fenders are not the same height on my 05 Burb. The rear are lower. Takes 2 seconds to slide a jack under the front end and then you can visualize what it will look like “leveled” instead of just trusting a tape measure.

If we were talking about your truck, sure that would make sense.

More than one way to skin a cat. Just depends on how much effort you want to put into it
 
Damn our trucks are like fraternal twins

Trim your valance!
lol yeah, just a few small differences...and i finally took it off, looks better now that i did!
