Looks good, from what i can see! Moar pix pleeeez.

What air pressure you running? Hard to tell from that pic, but looks like they might be a touch low.

I will get more. Running 36. I just asked the folks in this thread if I should change my pressure because of the size and weight

Yea i saw that. Thats probably dang close. I will check what we have been running on the same size at3’s. I think it is right around there…maybe 38.

I just upped it to 41 and gave it a test ride and it felt good. Tomorrows commute to and front work will give me a great opportunity to play with it

All the pics look great and are making me a little jelly. I have a couple of questions:

1. I have a 2021 Z71 Tahoe, all stock. I've never had a lift/level done on any vehicle. I'd like to level and lift the front end about 1", nothing drastic. Can anybody tell me their thoughts on the effect doing that work would have on the vehicle (any extra wear and tear, etc.) and/or fuel mileage? Mine is always high mileage because I travel a lot in the state for work (33k on my '21 already, took delivery in January '01) and I don't care about a couple miles per gallon but just curious.

2. With what I want to do, is it something an average guy can DIY? I'm decent but amateur with my mechanical skills. I have a floor jack and compressor with air tools but nothing else fancy.

Air suspension or coil springs?

It does not have the air ride suspension.

I am not a mechanic by any means, but have tinkered with vehicles quite a bit over the years (do oil changes, brake jobs, installed lifts on jeeps and trucks etc.). I installed the 1.5” leveling kit on my wifes ‘22 high country on the floor in my garage in a few hours or less. Not too big of a deal.

I wouldnt expect much of a hit in the mpg department, if any at all, for just a small level. If you put larger/heavier tires on it then you could see a bit worse mileage, or a tall lift.

Yep. Running about 38-39 in her 305/45/22 open country at3’s.
