What is the right height to "level"?

[dmannx]

well I've been lurking around this site since I purchased my 2011 Tahoe LT 4x4 in October of last year. I'm ready to get rid of the nose dive but am not quite sure on which direction to go. I am going to have to pay someone to do the work as I am mechanically challenged. So I want to make sure I get it right the first time.

There's the Rough Country 2" - which I have read "levels the truck perfectly"
The Readylift adjustable 1"-1.5" - which I have also read "levels the truck perfectly"
Then, what seams to be the most popular CCM - 2.5"F / 1"R kit

Feedback anyone ?

if you want level with no lift...I think the Ready Lift 1.5 is the way to go. If you want to add a larger tire and lift then the CCM is the route to take.

I did the RC 2" with a 1" rear spacer...

My rough country 2" leveling kit measured out almost even on all 4 corners, maybe 1/4" or less higher in the front. I like it, and can be installed with simple tools and a floor jack. Once it stops raining every 4 days I will clean it up and get some better pictures.

Same here.

I love the set up and is super easy to install. With this setup my rear is about .5-.75" higher. Which is perfect for me for towing and loading heavy things in the rear.

IF I am right the offset from front to back is 2-2.5". Walk out side measure from ground up to bottom of the fender in the middle of the tire on the front and back. Front will be around 35.5" and the rear about 37". From that you can find out how to perfectly level your Tahoe and which kit you will need

^^^this.

Hence why I went with the Ready Lift 2.25f/1.5r kit. A little lift and a very minor rake. I think it makes the truck look good. If you want perfectly level, just go 1.5 front.
