Correct. Say High Country. GM's approved 2 inch lift comes with the recalibration and camera re position but if I decided to go with something a little higher than that do you think those could be changed maybe via a recalibration reset that a person/non GM shop, need to have GM do it or not really a issue to worry about.
 
Thanks 
That's a good question. I don't really have an answer as far as what GM would be willing to do, or how the factory calibration is done. I would give service a call and see if they know anything about it.

Unless you have a great dealer you’d probably have better luck asking Miss Cleo for lotto numbers lol

Aftermarket suspension manufacturers will not approve installing leveling kits on the prelifted models because of the ball joint and cv issues.  Can you install the leveling kits on the trail-boss and AT4 package trucks?  Sure.  Will you have issues in the future?  Probably.  4x4 shops are installing these leveling kits on these trucks but the manufacturers specifically state we do not approve this for we will not be held liable for any cv issues or ball joint issues.  

 

As far as the tires go, sure you can fit a 35" tire on the trail-boss and at4 trucks, but you will not clear 100% while articulation.  If you have a shop tell you that the at4 or trail-boss models can clear 35's on stock wheels with no lift, they are lying to you or they are simply not educated enough.  These trucks will absolutely rub.  They may not at ride height simply turning, but if you're driving in our out of a driveway or dip while turning you will experience tire rub.

Do I need a front wheel alignment following install? I believe I do, but just wanted to double check. 

I’ve put rough country front end leveling kits on three different trucks you definitely need to do a front end alignment after this kit is installed

Have you tried 35s and now for sure they rub?  There is a guy in my area I have talked to with a 19 denali leveled running 35x12.5 on factory 22s and has no rub or any issues.

Well it depends on offset. If they're on stock wheels, that's a higher offset than aftermarket wheels so then he may be able to fit them.

Anyone find a leveling kit for the Trail Boss or know if any one might make one yet?

The only things out for the Trail Boss/AT4 right now are 4 inch lift kits that convert the Trail Boss lift to a 6 inch lift.

Nothing on level kit yet but I talked to Rough Country today and they are working on getting something released later this year.

Question. With the factory lift GM says that they will reconfigure the front camera and electronic power steering calibration so that all driver assist programs operate seamlessly. Can anyone chime in if this is just a software update,basically a recalibration process, or if they have to go in and manually tweek sensors and camera? I am thinking about putting on a small lift when I get the truck/when the lifts are available and was wondering if these could be done by the shop when completed or if I would need Chevy to do it or do you think it will be even necessary.

It's a calibration update in the body control module, done through GM software by a dealer or shop with a subscription.  You will get a code with the kit and there is no other way to get those calibrations.  Also if you bought the GM kit and install it yourself, you could take it to a dealer for the update, they'll charge you most likely.   So aftermarket lift parts equals no calibration update.  It works this way with a lot of GM aftermarket stuff, your calibration is part of the product.
