New member with a Q re: level kit and body lift.

[Moonshine]

The baby is doing excellent. He is definitely sleeping more the older he gets but it's still a work in progress. I ended up canceling the CCM order and buying it off a fellow TYF member who was upgrading his lift. It's on it's way and the day it comes in I'm getting it installed and will post some pics and comments about it. I've heard nothing but good things about the CCM though!!

Glad to hear there is more sleep happening all around! My husband went ahead and ordered the CCM leveling kit for his Silverado. After closer inspection (on level ground, our driveway is quite sloped) we discovered my Tahoe has already been leveled by the previous owner, but we are guessing its only a 1" or 1.5" front only. It still sits nose down by .25". Not bad really. Im just looking for more height out of the 2.5/1 and well, Id prefer dead level. There's just something about that stance that catches my eye. *shrug* I wish CCM would catch back up with their stock already! Backorder for over a month seems a bit ridiculous.

I just did leveling kit an 2" zone body lift with 35s and it looks great an rides good. The back looks the exact same as it did and we did a little welding so the trailer hitch is very strong and I can still tow with it.

That is one very, very sweet looking ride.

Im over the moon happy. Look what my sweetheart of a husband brought home for me today! (They need a good polish!)

I would test fit them prior to purchasing tires as I was under the impression that nothing smaller than 17s would clear the calipers on nnbs trucks.

Please don't, you can get a suspension for around the same amount of money if you only want to go 3".

16" s are gonna look way small...just sayin'

Where can you get a suspension lift (3") for ~$400? What is included in that package?

Thanks for the heads up. Neither of us even gave that a second's thought. We'll give it a test fit tonight. Here's to hoping.

And I think the 20's its currently sittin' on look way big. Just sayin.

Not sold on that kit yet. It seems like the downward articulation is limited since the BCA is not relocated. They also do not show what the tie rod angle is like. I would like to see it on a lift or offroad to check it out. At least it drops the diff to keep the CV angles in check.

Not counting it out, but based on reviews of the earlier versions of this kit I would be cautious.

Still sounds like a better option then a body lift.
