What's the consensus on leveling? This is my first GMC and I'm not a fan of that factory rake. Been looking at the RC 1.75" Leveling Kit and the Ready Lift 1.75" leveling kit. I find it odd that they both come with mostly the same parts but the RC says explicitly that it will not fit the Trailboss but the RL does......



 

If you just want to level it, you can remove/reverse the rear lift and essentially lower the back to remove the rake. Unless you would like the higher stance in the front.

I want to level but i guess what i'm really asking is which kit to choose.
 

you will end up with about 5/8 -3/4 rake but that allows for a little weight in the back or light towing without looking like a goon going down the road with your front end jacked up in the air.

This is what I ran on my Toyota Tundra for years. The ride was improved over the TRD set up and no spacers.

I just installed the Rough Country leveling struts. My Canyon is now nearly level with the rear being 1/2 inch higher. The perforomance and ride is superior to the OEM shocks. Check it out
 

Def ReadyLift over RC IMO…
But Zone (sister company of BDS) make a great 1.75” kit too for the AT4. I used these UCAs on mine and happy with the alignment and look/feel of parts.


Though the 5100s are a great option and I used on my Bronco. Happy with that level and ride comfort, etc…

Leveled just looks so much better! :)
Here are some before and after pics of my 2023

Thanks and good luck!!

This is what I did to my 2022 AT4x about a year ago- kept the factory ride but got a level truck.
