Default 2012 2500 Suburban Lift kit Help

I was wondering how much does a 2-3" lift kit put on oem shocks and component wear. I'm assuming it's minimal? Is there any type of leveling kit that puts the least wear? I hear torsion keys give a really rough ride so looking to avoid that.

What would give the best ride and least suspesion wear out of Torsion keys, Coil Spacers, etc.

Thinking about Pro Comp, Skyjacker, Ready Lift, etc. They seem to be the favorite ones are the any others.

Cognito Motorsports purchased from NorcalTruck.

I just leveled out my Burban and am getting wheels and tires Friday. The kits are pricey but the ride is worth it. I plan on keeping this vehicle for the long haul.

The kits feature a bolt in upper ball joint for easy future maintenance. The upper control arms correct the angle on the ball joint to reduce premature failure. The pitman and idler arm braces fix the sloppy centerlink in the steering. I don't know how leveling out the front end increases wear but with this kit you are going to have the best ride.

Good luck,
Toby

If you have torsion bars like my 07 2500, you can level it by adjusting the torsion bars and then getting an alignment. I leveled mine 3 years ago with Zero issues, tracks down the road perfectly straight and tires wear evenly.
