Installed a 2.5” Supreme Suspension Leveling Kit today. Top pics are stock, bottom pics are with leveling kit installed.

Sorry for the dirty truck. It’s -18 degrees here in MN right now so car washes are closed.

Looks great! Did you install yourself? Nice to see a fellow Minnesotan on here!

Yes I installed it myself. There were a few things different with these 21's vs the install videos on 13th gens but it was pretty straight forward. Notable differences being that you no longer need a vacuum pump to remove the steering knuckle and the sway bar link is different now too. I was able to access the strut bolts from the wheel well with a ratcheting 18mm, even though I've heard multiple places that they have to be accessed through the engine bay.

Great looking truck!!! Are those tires stock or did you upgrade them? I like the white lettering.

That was my next question. I’ve also heard that the bolts needed to be removed via the engine bay. I want a level too but I dunno if I could do it myself. Are you going to get an alignment done?

Thanks, yes these are the factory tires that came on the truck. The white lettering is just more prominent with the wheels blacked out.

I will warn you that this is a solid 3.5 out of 5 on the difficulty meter. If I didn't have air tools & a heated garage I wouldn't even bother. The couple hundred bucks you'll pay for install would be worth it. I'm no newb when it comes to wrenching, but I'm not a mechanic either.

Yes I'm going to get an alignment within the next 500 miles along with my first oil change.

Are you taking it in for an alignment? Also, I love the olds in the other bay. I had a '70 cutlass in high school that had way too little traction for a teenager.

Yes I’ll be getting an alignment within 500 miles and my first oil change.

Thanks, that’s my other toy. 68’ Olds 442, 400ci Big Block, blue printed & balanced, bored .06 over, 455 torquer intake manifold, 750cfm carb, electronic fuel pump, 4 speed manual w/ 4:56 gears. She’s a throwback to a different time and truly feels like an occasion every time I drive it.

This is where I ended up fellas. 39 3/4” up front vs 40 3/8” out back. Removed roughly 3” out of the 3.5” of take the truck originally had. That’s pretty level I’d say.

This is hanging by the way, not under load.

Thought that was pretty steep at first. I didn't see the hanging part right away. I'm sure sitting on the ground will knock out at 3-5 degrees.

I'll pull it up on ramps this weekend and get a picture under load for better reference.
