Default Silverado 1500 LTZ LIft kit

Has anyone lifted there 2022 Silverado 1500? I would really like some more height. I swapped the 22's that came on my vehicle for some trail boss wheels. I was looking at the factory lift but the one pickup I found online on another forum is really out of level now with the back way higher than the front or maybe that is how it was to start with??? There are no before photos so I don't know. My vehicle shown below is just about perfect, I would just like a couple more inches lift front and back. This is the vehicle that has the factory lift part number 86814402 installed:



This is my vehicle:

I received my lift yesterday! I hope to get it installed May 1st. I got an extended warranty on the vehicle and in that policy it states I have to get the lift installed at the dealer. The lift also says in the description to check with your local dealer. If you end up doing this to your vehicle, go to the parts department and work with them to do this. The prices are all MSRP on the Chevy owners site. You can find the lift at OEM parts places for $500 dollars cheaper. You can also save a lot on the install cost. I also wanted to use hundreds of dollars in points I earned on the owners website, not sure how I earned all the points but it was over $300 dollars. The install price it out of site high through the owners link, it also is different if you select different dealers by as much as $600 dollars. The service department wanted the vehicle for 3-4 days because it takes a long time to get the new programming from GM, this is what the service manager said. After the kit install there is some new programming that needs to be installed and re-calibration that needs to be done, it is listed in the kit instructions and description. I contacted the parts manager after I made the appointment and asked if he would be able to get the programming part taken care of in the next couple weeks. I don't want to install the lift and then have them not be able to get the programming and I really don't want them to sit and wait 3 days to get it when they should be able to have everything there and ready in my opinion. It is 4-5 hours tops to install the lift, maybe they need to take it out to get an alignment check if they can't do that in house, re-calibrate the power steering and the the camera system. There is mention of the Trail Boss programing and I am not 100% sure what that is. I am not sure if there may be drive mode changes or added features like that or if it is just the power steering re-calibration and camera re-calibration so the lane departure, adaptive cruise and emergency braking systems will function like normal. Should easily be able to get completed in a day and he agreed.

Trip, That blue Silverado looks a little odd- hopefully yours turns out to be more level, as it already is. Please keep me posted on your progress and send some photos! Nice truck. On mine, some quick measurements show be that the front is actually about 1.25” lower than the rear. I’ll have to double check that though. I measured from center of wheel to the fender, front and rear.

Mine goes in Monday for the install. I plan to get some measurements this weekend so I can compare after the lift is installed.
