2016 Z71 Tahoe 2" level on 285/55r20

[mowrer7]

During the leveling process, did you get any feedback about kits that level from the top or bottom or both? Some kits seem to level by adjusting at the top of the strut, others level by adding a bit at the top and the bottom of the strut. Does it matter much? Any significant difference in performance or stress on the CV joint and shaft?

I could be way over thinking this, but it did catch my attention.

Thoughts?

Mine is procomp & was dealer installed by Laura GMC. I'm sure there's more stress as it is different from the original stock design, but I would say it's minimal. No problems with mine, but I only have 1500 miles on it...

Thanks for the response.

Installed the Rough Country 2in level in front and 1in spacer in rear. 285/65/18 BFG AT's fit with no rubbing at all. Rides a bit rougher, but probably more due to the tires than the lift. Needed a good alignment though. One note for anyone wanting to install a spacer lift for the bottom of the strut, you will need to remove the CV axle in order to get the left bolt through, there's not enough room to drop it down or to even come up from the bottom.

Do you know the offset of the wheels

Definitely a 20x9 and somewhere between +18 and 0 offset
