    Does anyone have pics of a 2.5gen platinum with the rear lowered 2-3" for levelling (not squatted). I know its sacrilege to some to not lift the front, but I don't care for how they look lifted in the front with stock wheels and tires. Because it's a platinum I'd like to retain the luxury look rather than an off-roading look. I'd just like to see what one looks like leveled from the rear.

    I know there are a couple of guys here that have done it. There’s actually a guy down the road from me that’s done it. Definitely borderline sacrilege. Haha

    Minimum you can lower the rear is 4” and that’s with an axle flip. There are no blocks on the axles of these trucks. It’s not a GM where you can remove the block and get a drop shackle. For that reason, the most common drop is a 2/4 (front/rear) and that’s the only kits you’ll readily find.

    Well there’s my answer. I’ll leave it alone, don’t want it looking too low or make it squat

    If you spring under with a longer shackle you can get a 3” or 2” drop. The rake on our trucks is about 3”, but because of the body lines 2” looks level, IMO.

    Longer shackle gives lift with no load, but it make the travel longer under load

    Right. But you’re still doing an axle flip regardless.
