OP you can't tell, but you will be significantly toed in, wait until you see the alignment sheet.

I had these on my last truck, while I wasn't a fan of the fronts I did really like the rears.
Thanks, I’m definitely planning on getting it aligned once the springs settle.

I’m curious, what didn’t you like about the fronts on your previous truck?

I had them on a 2014 sierra and I couldn't find a setting that wasn't either too soft causing too much body roll or too stiff. The rear's rode great though.

Looks really nice, it's a must do for me. Keep us posted, tires and alignment.

Looks good! I am about 3 weeks in with mine and so far they have not settled much if any. Could be that with the lighter aluminum on these trucks it will take longer.

Thanks! I'm definitely impressed with the performance so far. I did measure tonight and there has been no settling, I'm still a full 1/2" higher in the front. I still much prefer this look to the non-leveled rake but would still like it to come down some.

Question - Have you had an alignment since the install? If so, did you do it right away or how long did you wait? (apologize in advance if I missed this in your install/review post)

I had an alignment done a couple of days later. The tech told me it was off some but not much. You probably won't hurt anything waiting a few days or even a week but I would not run it that way long term. Sooner or later it will cause premature tire wear.

Got it, thanks for the info. I think I'll plan to have it aligned this weekend.

Can yall tell me where your taking your measurements from? I'm understanding a 2.7 is at 40" stock tire size and a 3.5 is at 39.75 with a inch taller tire... or am I reading it wrong?

MNSportman, I really like the look!! I can barely tell the difference in the front from the rear. I love the tire size...this is the look I'm going after for my new Ingot Silver FX4. What was the price of the kit and what was the labor to install it? The truck looks awesome!! Thank you for sharing...this is exactly the look I want. I was really thinking about just the front leveling kit but I didn't want to change the ride of my brand mew truck to feeling like it was to stiff.

I have measured from the ground to the middle of the fender well centering through the middle of the tire.

There could be some variance between trucks due to the difference in weight. Also the Lariats and above have the factory fender flare which could slightly change where the tape measure hits.
