I currently have the CCM 2.5/1 leveling kit on my tahoe, and i believe it has settled to where it'll be permanently. I was curious if there are any further options short of a full lift to raise the front end a little to actually level the front or even a slight cali lean. PLEASE HELP

With a simple spacer kit I would not raise the front anymore unless your are only 2WD. If you raise it anymore I would be concerned about the CV angles.

It should only be ~0.5" or so higer in the rear. Do you have autoride?

IMO replace the rear spacer with a 1".

It is just a 2wd:fc5716bd: I had no choice in the matter, found a good deal with low miles. It is about .5 inches off level i Just wanna slight cali lean. TBH

Your original post indicates 1.5" rear spacer and your sig shows 1" rear spacer.

In any case, since your are 2WD the front can be increased. Although I would look into this more because I do not know how that much lift (from spacers) will affect handling and durability. I would not add another spacer though (spacer on top of the CCM). Either try to find a 3" front spacer or change the struts to Bilstein 5100s which are adjustable (keep the CCM installed).

How much higher you can go in the front will depend on how far your control arm is off the droop stop. They make a lower spacer but if all you want is lean and you are fine with the front height then just take the spacer out of the rear :shrug:

Yea, my original post was a typo, it is just 1" rear, which i do want to keep Yates, I want as tall as possible but i drive 200 miles on the highway every week or 2 and don't want to get 8 MPGs :Nonono:Did some looking around, Like the bilstein idea(seen a couple guys with what would be my setup if i did it) seems like a fairly cheap part, correct me if I'm wrong but its like $75? but how is it adjustable? and the things I've seen seem to just be the shock.

Only the front 5100s struts are adjustable by using the collar. Look at the Bilstien website.
