Good Afternoon,​

New ZR2 owner here,

Anyone have experience installing this option for leveling the ZR2? Fitment indicates it would fit a 2023.

Strange that a seller's website would contradict a manufacture's website info. I'm assuming your reference is from PhastekPerformance. Their site seems to be the only one I could find that references the 66-3921 kit fitting the ZR2. ReadyLift and most other sites say it won't fit the ZR2.

I had contacted ReadyLIft a few months back. I was told they were testing parts, but had nothing available for the consumer.

Just curious as I have never done this...why would anyone want to do this??? Is it solely to eliminate the rake from front to rear? Do folks think the truck looks that bad stock? Thanks

To each his own but typically it’s for a couple reasons, remove the rake as some folks hate that look and/or to to clear a wheel/tire setup they are trying to achieve.

I can understand the need for tires and wheels.
 
Rake not bad at all in these trucks but will have a leveling kit installed when the proper one is available, would like to try 35" tires. Firestone bags installed so rake (or lack there of) becomes irrelevant.
 
As someone who has uca failure on my TB, I’m staying far away from any leveling kit that doesn’t include new control arms.
This is my issue as well. Kits all fit great but the key is finding the right and GOOD UCA to use on it. On another forum I'm in the parts guy from GM dealership said the stock UCA's are very brittle and wouldn't hold up long with a level added.
 
A lot of companies are using a strut preload spacer to limit over extension of the suspension, in addition to an upper or lower bolt on spacer.
Using only a spacer allows the control arm to hit the spring and eventually the cast aluminum arm to break.
The upper control arm has been a GM issue for all of their trucks.
I contacted a few companies and it looks like ETA for ZR2 kits to hit shelfs should be around march.
