Leveling Questions 16 Hoe

[Glocksub]

I'll see if i can get any side pics on a level spot. I have the Suspension Maxx 1.5". I also have the Max trailering pkg with the rear load leveling. You can get the 2" spacers cheaper than the 1.5" so that sort of sucks, but I knew I never wanted the front higher than the rear.

And for me the alignment was required after the spacers.

Your Tahoe looks great with the 1.5". Are you running the stock 275/55-20's or a size larger? For some reason the tires look a little larger than stock, but maybe it's just me....

Mine are the stock size. 275/55r20. They are Hankook AT-M tires. They are an all terrain but not as beefy as the BFG's or anything like that.

Thanks for the info. Prior to seeing your photo, I was pretty much set in my mind on a 2in leveling kit. The 1.5 is certainly a noticeable difference from stock while not bordering on too high in the front.....that being said, the two inch does not appear nose high when the truck is empty, but it's so close that it makes me think I would not like the stance if there was any weight in the cargo area or a trailer hooked to the vehicle.

I also have the max trailering pkg (rear load leveling). If you have that it may keep it from sagging and the 2" may work well for you.

I'm not going to purchase one that does not have the max trailer pkg, but I'm wondering how the rear load leveling will act (or compensate) for any weight when the front is already 2" higher than stock....in other words, if the front is already 2" higher and weight is put on the rear, will the rear load leveling system still work well enough to eliminate all of the sag?

Bilstein 5100 shocks all around in mine. The front are ride height adjustable up to 2.5". I have mine set at 2.5". They do not compromise the suspension or ride at all like other leveling kits and is relatively cheap....

Would you mind sharing the part number for these bilstein and any other supporting parts that you used to make it as pictured?
Also, would you say that the ride is more controlled, more confortable over bad roads than the stock setup.
I have 45k on my suburban and trying to decided what is the most solid route to possibly to a small lift front and back. I want to keep the rear a bit higher due to the slanted nature of the rear of the suburban
( currently have the suburban leveled rear with the stock front, so probably lowered 3" and my wife doesnt like it at all, cargo hatch to low, rear cargo slanted down and stuff keeps falling, plus look wise although its perfectly levelled, rear looks droppy due to the design of the rear)

I got 2.5 in the front and nothing on the back. Front def higher. Wish i would have seen this post before. So i'm assuming if i put a 1" block in back it will level it. is this normal?
