Default 2020 Silverado LT Lift or Level

Hey all,
first post, second day with my 2020 Silverado LT double cab 4 x4. I’d like to at least install a leveling kit, put possibly a 2” lift kit. I’d love to see some photos and a quick description of your setup.

Here she is.
Thanks for the help!

I am getting the factory 2 inch Trail Boss lift on my LTZ May 1st. I wasn't able to find much info from anyone. My LTZ is pretty level from the factory so I hope it stays that way adding the lift. Yours looks pretty level stock as well if it is stock right now. I am very excited about getting it installed. The one I found that was supposed to be lifted didn't have great photos and it is way out of level or it looks like it is to me. I am going to ask and make sure they can keep it as level as possible when they do it just like it is now. I do not want the super high rear end and low in the front look.

Just got it back, thought I would post some comparison photos. I will post some measurements to compare with the before and other photos where I can park it in the same place where I took before photos this weekend. I LOVE IT. I can't believe the ride quality improvement, I am really impressed. It isn't so harsh, it soaks up harsh bumps and the rollers when turning into lanes that have bad wear groves in the roadway. I drive pretty far to and from work on rural roads that only have center lines, big dips in them here and there. When you hit the big dips now you kind of feel it go down and that is about it. No more harsh down with a bit of a bounce back to normal afterward. It is like it just lightly soaks up the bump and you don't even feel the rebound back to normal. I just can't believe how different it is. My wife was also very impressed with the difference in ride quality. The automatic step is actually useful now as well.

Nice!! What kind of lift did you go with? I’m about to install a leveling kit(3” front 2” rear) in hopes of achieving similar ride height as the TB

I am installing a leveling kit on my ‘22 LT(all star edition) this upcoming weekend and I’ll post before and after for you. Went with mammoth 3” spacers for the front and motofab 2” blocks for the rear. I personally don’t mind a little rake just not to the extreme it is now. I’m hoping for a similar ride height as the trail bosses


22x10s wrapped in 285/45s (equates to roughly 32x11)

Barely rubs at full turn going forward. Rubs worse in reverse I hear it just over half turn in reverse

First wash the Week I bought it- stock 18s

I purchased the lift below. It is very level from front to back which is what I wanted. The pickup was pretty level front to back to start with, just really low. I am still very pleased with the setup and the ride quality is so much better than it was stock. I parked next to a TrailBoss and I really don't like how the rear is so much taller than the front on those. The second vehicle below has the same lift I installed that I have and the back is way higher than the front after that install as well. That was the only person I could find who installed the lift I was looking at. All the systems and cameras seem to be working great as well, lane assist, adaptive cruise etc... No camera distortion or any other issues I have read about from others. I am very happy.
