I just purchased a 2016 Tahoe Z71. My first of this generation. Had a 2011 and leveled it with a 2 inch spacer under the shocks. I just measured ground to center fender on the 2016 and got the following measurements. Rear 38 6/16, froht 35 10/16(5/8). Roughly 3 inch drop. It’s confusing because I am finding most on here doing a 2 inch level.

Anyway, what is the best 3 inch leveling kit: I found several on Amazon for less than $50.00 that mount on top of the strut.

Appreciate any advice.

Be aware that the wheel wells are cut offset - if you make it perfectly level it will look front high. Also, the ride quality goes downhill quickly when you go over 2" level, which is why 2" is the sweet spot for levels. I was pretty happy with the 1.5" motofab on my burb with .75" dynapro rear spacers as well.

Someone else told me that as well. Going with the 2 inch. I appreciate your input!
