CCM leveling kit question

[BrettS1034]

Hi, I don't know if this has been answered before so if it has feel free to delete.
My question is: I see that everyone is running the 2.5 inch CCM kit but I also see that they offer a 3 inch and it says that it will fit Tahoes and Yukons as well as the 1500 trucks. Is there a reason that nobody is talking about the 3 inch? I would rather have that extra .5 inch to clear 33s without worrying about rubbing on my 2011 Tahoe z71.

Thanks!
Brett

If you do a bit more digging/reading, anything past 2.5" up front will **** up your CV Angles in a bad way. I did a 4/3 leveling kit and changed out the UCA's to help, but since I have 33x12.50R22 Toyo Open Country MT's, it STILL rubs @ full lock on my '11 Yukon 4x4.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Anytime buddy! I had a 2.5/1.5 on my avalanche and it looked perfect and didn't rub when I had factory 20's with some not as wide Nitto Terra Grapplers.

With the CCM 2.5"/1" level kit, will the truck squat (cali lean)? I have an 08 Z71 Tahoe. I definitely don't want the squatting look - but it seems to be the most common level kit from CCM. Right now I'm running 265/R18 AT tires - but would definitely like to upgrade to a 285 with meatier tread.

Just don't want the truck to look lower in the rear if I buy this leveling kit as opposed to say a 2.5"/1.5" setup.

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Mine was 0.25" higher in the rear with the 2.5/1, but just eye balling it the front slightly looked higher depending on terrain/angle. If you are concerned about that, just get the 2.5/1.5. IMO looks better with a slightly higher rear and won't be lower than the front if you are carrying a load.

I now have an airlift bag in the back which gives me 1.5 to 2" at the back.

Thank you sir! I rarely carry a load bigger than my two 90lb labradors, so hopefully the 2"/1" is will be good. If it ends up being too low in the rear, I can always buy just the 1.5" rear spacers on eBay or something down the road.

Another concern with the 1.5" rear lift is getting in and out of my garage - and I definitely want to be able to park in there.

I'm pretty sure you will still fit in the garage. I don't have a big garage at all and I have the 4" up front and 3" spacer in the rear with 33's and it fits just fine.

Your garage height must be insane! I measured mine last night and my garage door as a 6'9" clearance.

2.5"/1" should be good to go - the extra .5" in the rear may make it too tall.
