I recently purchased/Installed the McGaughys 30014 rear leveling kit (2") for my 15 Suburban (non-autoride), and the 33069 rear air bag helper kit. I noticed the rear looks lower than the front even though measuring shows that it is pretty dead level. I also noticed that the rear helper bag kit fully inflated at 35 psi doesn't entirely keep the rear level with a heavy load in the rear (online it says its for a 3"-5" lowering springs but McGaughy said I can use it with the 2" leveling spring). Also My HIDs seem to be projecting higher than normal and I get high beamed alot leading me to believe the rear is lower than the front.

I was thinking about lowering the front 1" but today at the market I noticed the front valance was barely clearing the curb when parking. is there an option to raise the rear about .5-.75 of an Inch. Also I cut the one Rib off of the stock bump stop but feel like it is hitting on bumps. Is there a recommended height for replacement bump stops after the 2" level (there is only about .5" clearance between the shaved bump stop and the axel)? Thanks!

pm me and ill fix this for you quick. This is why I always have my customers measure the trucks especailly on the 15s up since different springs are used.

When you Lowered the Rear, did you re-aim your Headlights?


I didn't re-aim my headlights after the 2" level.

I ended up adding a 1" spacer to bring the rear up an inch and the headlights seem to be fine now (i haven't been high beamed) Over all appearance looks way better.
