They’ve made the rake pretty minimal on these new suvs but it’s there on most of them. Our Yukon xl was 1.25” higher in the rear from the factory with premium smooth ride suspension. The nivomat shocks are not meant to be a leveling kit per say (that nearly always involves a spacer in the front to bring it up to match the rear) but they supposedly level the rig when you have something heavy in the back.

Yup. Mechanically “level” after driving.

@sanman28 just like @CBDFW1984 my 2022 Tahoe Z71 is also level. So is my wife's 2022 Suburban Z71... from the factory.

Yes, these newer rigs are much more level from the factory that the past models. Especially with air ride.

I put a 1.5” level on my wifes tahoe high country (no air ride) because it did have a bit of visible rake. Much better now IMO.

I can't find the post but wanted to follow up- Here are the after photos of the 2022 Tahoe Z71 with 285/60R20's NITTO Recon grappler's installed.

No rub, no problem at all. Looks much more aggressive than the Goodyears that were on it. No road noise from what I can tell either.
Looks great!!
Im about to do same thing to my wifes 23 z71. Only maybe ridge grapplers. The factory tires wore the sides out of them I am not too thrilled with them so I need to change them anyways

Did you look into the ridge grapplers? If so, is there something that made you want the recons as opposed to them?

I came to this forum to look at these tires as I am upgrading my wife’s tires. Noticed your temp plates. I also bought our z71 from Jerry Durant lol small world…we’re in canyon creek.

You didn’t lift or level to make these fit? No rubbing on turns or bumps? Looks great. We have the champagne colored Tahoe

I’m curious to know if they run as well. I went with the same size BFG AT KO2’s and without the Westcott fender liner pull back kit, they definitely would have rubbed at full lock.
