Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

[Jonah52]

I wouldn't go over 2''. 2.5 is pushing it in my experience.

Yeah 2" on stock uppers and 2.5" on lift uppers

Yeah 2" on stock uppers and 2.5" on lift uppers

I was at 2.5'' and had a noticeable decrease in ride quality.

I am planning to order a 2.5 ccm front and a ebay billet 1.5 spacer for rear and will also be adding bilstein 5100 shocks, would this be a good setup for my non airide Avalanche?

I'd go 2/1, 2.5 will put you closer to your drop stops for your UCA's than you should be. That extra .5" allows for a lot more motion.

Ok that sounds good, and I guess I would still be able to fit 295/55r20s with aftermarket 20x9.5 wheels?

 

[Jonah52]

Yeah those will be best. And in my experiencing I would sacrifice a little shorter for a little wide. Running a 32x12.50 vs a 33x11, the 295 will look bigger cause it's basically a 12 wide.

Stay around 0 offset as well. Negative with bevyour friend and those tires should be fine if you run positive or 0.

 

[01Konvict]

Yeah 2/1 and 5100 with those wheels tires is going to look great! Stay with 0 or +12 offset

What's the best way to go for reducing but not entirely eliminating rake on a 2008 LT?

I've read that Rough Country 2" seems to result in Cali Lean sometimes, with front end higher than rear---unacceptable.
1.5" Ready Lift kit?

 

[Jonah52]

1.5" spacer.

Just eBay it theyre like $22. A spacer is a spacer.

That should do it.

I am gonna try out dropping the rear of mine 1.5

What size lift is that? I love the way it sits.

 

[MadDogDelpho]

For a 2 inch level/ lift on my NBS what shocks do y'all think would be best? 5100s? because a couple pages back is sounded like 5100s would be only just long enough, and I'd rather have too long for more travel than not long enough and risk a bad ride.

I bought it already jacked it has a rough country lift on from what I've seen I think it's a 5" I'm not for sure I'm running a 295/60/20 Nitto and have plenty of Clarence

Are these the 5100s to order for a level kit. Just need to make sure before ordering

Nice! I have a 2009 Chevy, white also, and it seems like the 5inch rough country is the way I'm going. That pic is motivation for sure!
