Leveled

Just leveled mine, tinted it and put a Ranch Hand brush guard on it.

Has anyone done the high idle mod yet.

Won't fit on my local shops rack to align it. Strange because my 2013 did. Guess I need to schedule at the dealer. Ugh!

Ok I just don't understand this leveling kit I guess. So you guys that do this why? When you put the kit on an empty truck so it rides level correct? So when you load it down with what ever on the back 5th wheel/gooseneck or even a bumper pull wont it be *** down front up then? Blinding everyone that's in front of you now?

Ahhh...so this is going to be an issue for sure. Remember, these SD's are almost 4" longer wheelbase than the previous gen SD's.

Looks GREAT! Love the color combo (have the same with my 2012 SD)

Certainly possible...of what you speak. However, many that install the level kit also will install Airbags...for those heavy payloads or towing.

I only went 2". It's far from level. Maybe another 2" it would be level. If it is an issue towing my trailers I'll air bag it.

Yup. Truck looks nose high now IMO.
Soon as you hook up the nose is in the air like a 50's sled.
