Recently removed my 2” front level kit. Rake with 2” level was 1/4” higher in rear(basically level)...makes sense.

Added 2.5” front and 1” rear level. After measurements, yes the front is now 1/2” higher in front as expected. Current rake is now 1.25” higher in the rear. Doing the math I figured I would end up with a 3/4” rake which was the goal. Now 1/2” higher than desired at 1.25”.

Question: The rear spacers don’t work off of added geometry like the front do they? The rear spacers installed measure actual 1”.

Note: Have max tow so auto load leveling shocks in rear.

Anyone have any ideas/input as to why this might be, or have any idea where I might find a 1/2” rear spacer?

Nice Tahoe!

I'm not familiar with it but it looks like a quality part. I'd run it with no concerns if I wanted a 1/2" rear lift.

Thanks! Do you have as much rake with your 2”/1” level?

I have virtually no rake at all. But mine's an '08 2WD with 195K on the springs. Also have a non-functioning Auto Level system. If that did work, it'd probably be about an inch higher in the rear.

It’s actually just a little nose high. I didn’t notice until I did measurements. Less than 1/4in difference
I’m not sure what I want to do . This was my original plans but the dealership ordered wrong one. They keep 2 on level in stock so we decided to give it a try

All about preference really. What are your measurements front vs back?

If you've answered this I apologize. Did this change take care of any rubbing? Also, did you change the control arms to aftermarket or are you still running stock? I did a 2.5" on my 18' Sierra and the shop talked me into new control arms. We just bought this 19' Yukon and I want it to be right...so I am trying to assess. Love how yours looks. Thanks.

We only did 2in level and didn’t mess with anything else and they told me since they did work that it won’t void any of my warranty

My wheels are zero offset so there’s no issue with Rubbing on the control arms. My tires are 12” x 33.5. I did have to trim the inner fender well to keep from rubbing.
