Show off your 2015+ leveled Tahoes and Yukons!

Here is a teaser. I will pull it out to get better photos later and post a new thread as I don’t think anyone has done a complete write up on this kit for the 15-20 trucks on here yet.

Damnit. This looks too good.
Thanks for sharing. Good inspiration for me to do some day.

Here is one more until I have time to take some decent photos and do a full write up haha.

@Rustylane7 - those could be a bit too tall with stock suspension. I was running 33" tires with a 2-3" ride height increase up front and clearing fine with that.

I'm just going to go for it. The z71 seems to sit higher than a regular hoe. I'll report back with pics.

How do they ride? I had Fox 2.0s on my 2011 F150 and they definitely stiffened the truck up but was satisfied overall. Im leaning toward the Billstein 6112s on the tahoe just to try something different. Or possibly the Dobinson kit.

Ride is great. Stiffened up some; eliminated nose dive when stopping, nose dive or lean when cornering etc. but still comfortable. Biggest improvement is the rebound after a big bump. On the stock suspension I would bounce up and down 3 or 4 times after a big bump before the suspension settled. Now you go over the bump and it immediately settles. So instead of feeling like 5 bumps it feels like 1 bump

I considered the 6112s but it seemed like you could only get 1” of lift out of them and they don’t recommend running a spacer on top. That is ultimately what pushed me to the 3” Cognito lift.. only other choice would have been a Cognito 3” lift with kings instead of the Fox 2.0s. The kings 2.5 probably feels more similar to the 6112s. But the kings were not in the budget at the moment

Job well done - great overland build going!
A couple suggestions that probably wouldn't hurt your budget too much AND benefit the rig/ride:
1) Are the rear shocks built for a 0-2" ride height increase? If so -> New Rear Coil Springs, providing approx 2" increased ride height. (example: Dobinsons https://dobinsons.com/gmc/gmc-53)
2) New HD tie rod sleeves (instantly feel better steering control, particularly low speeds, with larger wheels)
3) New Front Sway Bar Links (extended length to match up better to the ride height increase)

Do you have links to tie rod sleeves and sway bar links that would work for this build? I always have a hard time finding parts that work on lifted 15-20 tahoes
