Is it better to lift the front an inch or two. Or put shackles on the rear to make it sit level? TIA

if you level it, when you pull a boat or trailer your headlights point straight up

Your neighbors house isn't close enough.

Leave it alone.

Lift it. Lowering a 4x4 is sacrilege.

What is involved in lifting the front? My old tahoe I just raised it with the torsion bars

Go pick up a leveling kit at a truck accessories store.

You want the front leveled up, do not pull the back down.

Good looking truck!

Don't think the new GM trucks use torsion bars I think it's a spacer. I used a spacer on my ford. Should be easy to find online and not too expensive.

Leveling kit with some 33"s would look awesome FWIW.
