Beautiful truck I bought a 2020 LTZ and checked every option and I like the bold Chevy grill especially with Chevrolet spelled out, the 2020 lights look the best IMO
Why did you choose to do the supermaxx leaving kit and just the cognito upper control arms? Just curious if that’s the better way to go as opposed to doing a full cognito kit. Thank you!
What size rear blocks did you install? I just did the same to my 2500 with the 2” suspension maxx rear blocks. I’m about a half in low on my rear. I want to put the 37”s on. Just want to make sure that half inch won’t interfere.
I have exact same truck 2020 high country but 2500. I’m thinking the stage 3 kryptonite leveling kit 2.5”. And I have 35” Toyos on it right now no lift or leveling kit. If I put the leveling kit do you think 20x12 rims would fit with the 35” toyos without any trimming?
The high country does look best , but I’m going for a 2020 GMC, I’v had the high country trucks since they came out , I just can’t get over that front end yet.
This was one of the first videos I've found on leveling this truck with suspensionmaxx. I own this exact truck and look forward to installing this same exact kit. Thanks,
@@grayghost1423 I still haven't done it yet. As you well know the past couple years have been crazy. I still plan on doing it with this kit, if I keep the truck.
Great channel JW.. I like this set up with the stock wheels...Do you think a 3/8 spacer might keep the 37 RT's from rubbing the frame?. Thanks for your input..great vids 👍
@@guillermonarvaez123 Yep, I did a 3" lift and installed 37x11:50 Nittos on the factory wheels and it rubs on the frame as well. I don't really like the idea of spacers.
Love the stand of that truck!. I'm a chevy guy miself, I'll change my truck soon but still growing on my the new chevy front. but the new GMC I like it better so I might change to a GMC.
I have a 22 LTZ Z71. Do you think if I do the same upgrades it’ll end something like this? Also would I have to upgrade shocks & wheels? I have stock 18s.
If they all had the high country bow tie grill, it would be the best looking truck on the market. Screwed the pooch not putting that grill in all trim levels.
Honestly I think the black GMC looks better but I've owned the 2019 1500 gmc in black, omfg I hate black lol swirl mark central. The GMC only good in black in my opinion, I wanted white so I ordered the 2500 high country instead, yeah it's stupid that they didn't added on the lower trims but at the same time it's kinda cool because it basically says that you have the high country lol
@@owenbrunet1279 oh I know! I have an 18 f150 in black. Never again! It shows every little blemish lol. That is a valid point on the grill though. You wheel in somewhere and people know without a doubt, it’s a high country lol
What is the height from ground to fender in the front I have a 2021 denial and mine is at 43in with 34 toya oc but want to go up to 37s wildpeak at4w. But I not sure how tall my leveling kit is. And if the 37s will fit
Great video. Whats the top of the cab measurement (height) from the ground? Wanting to do this the next tire change but still want to fit in my garage and car wash. I know someone out there knows.
Just wondering what the models are for the Cognito and Suspension Max are they SMX-MC9 and Cognito SM Series Ball Joint Upper Control Arm Kit for 2020 GM 2500HD/3500HD 2WD/4WD?
How much clearance do you have between the tire and upper control arm ball joint? I installed this set up and only have 3/4 clearance with stock wheels and tires.
hey i have a 2021 high country duramax 2500hd and im looking to buy the same leveling kit and control arms seeing if i can fully cover 37s or 35s mud graps or trail graps
Just bought the 2021 3500 High Country, came upon your video looking for lift kits. I can’t find a lift for my 2021. Not sure if the 2020 lifts are the same??
The Chevrolet HD's are growing on me. I like the GMC's better. The Chevrolet LTZ trim with the chrome bumper looks good as do the High Country trims. I'm leaning towards the GMC 3500 HD in the AT4 or SLT trim level. Black AT4 or SLT in bright red.
I just installed the bds leveling kit on my 21 high country. It comes with their control arms, but we can’t get anything larger than a 285/65/20 to clear on stock wheels without touching the control arms. Do you think the cognito is manufactured differently to allow more clearance to fit a bigger tire like a 37x12.50? Thinking of just buying the cognito control arms but want to make sure they’ll fit. Their website claims they won’t. You have experience. What do you think?
Does it rub? I spoke to several manufacturers and they all are saying you cant put 37's without rubbing. Also, what happens if I dont install the control arms?
What about the Kryptonite leveling kit? I’m not trying to troll you man I’m just looking around and your vids are popping up 1 vid says bad and you did 1 on the white 1 so basically is it good or bad
About how much does it cost to have it leveled and 37 in tires installed ? Mines a 2020 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.6 gas and the custom trim level with 20 inch wheels.
Thanks for the info but I am not going to be able to do anything until this whole pandemic is stopped but my goal is to get an HD AT4 as soon as everything breaks. I do like the idea of being able to just a day leveling kit for about $400 and then be able to put either 35 in or 37 in with no lift kit. Next thing I have to do is try to make a decision on which one of the leveling kit is the best one to put on my truck good luck with yours if you find some information out let me know
John Preuss Rough Country leveling kits is great. My cousin has it on his 2020 3500 gmc Denali and he’s running 37inch tires on his truck. You can also use the Suspension Maxx kit too. It levels it too but also lowers the front axle to give you a better stance too. I agree this pandemic has left a lot of my wants on the back burner. I had a quote for the rough country and then tires installed. It was 2k. So I figured I would do the leveling kit then wait a bit and do the tires.
I know the 2020 Silverado was hated by lots of people, but has it grown on you yet?! 👀
JW Montoya do they make that exact bed cover for the 11-13 lmls?
Yup!
Still can't grow on me with those mirrors lol. The GMC is more tolerable.
Anything looks good lifted and wheels and tires but a stock Silverado hasn’t grown on me yet
Even in stock form, the Silverado looks awesome. My favorite model by far.👍
Bro these new 2020's are killer
Yeah brother
Was any trimming at all needed to fit those 37’s in?
Love how you can tuck these 37s now
Loving that hoodie! We are working on some things for those tow mirrors which should clean them up.
Does it rub on sway bar and frame at full lock with the 37x12.5?

I think the new 2020 duramax are absolutely killer. If I could financially i would definitely get one.
Literally my dream truck this thing is stunning

How hard is the cab light install
I’m about to pick up my new truck tomorrow and they didn’t have the option on it
Not hard, just time consuming
I have these wheels on my 2015 2500, wanting to run 37’s with them when I lift, thanks for the visual!
Fine truck and fine setup JW!!!!
No trimming and no rubbing or scrubbing ?
I just put a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit on my 2022 GMC 3500 dually will a 35 inch tire fit inside the front fender well of a 2022
The high country does look best , but I’m going for a 2020 GMC, I’v had the high country trucks since they came out , I just can’t get over that front end yet.
The High Country front end looks great, especially with a levelling or lift kit. I own a at4 HD 3500,, both nice looking trucks.
Would wider offset tires fix the rub?
This was one of the first videos I've found on leveling this truck with suspensionmaxx. I own this exact truck and look forward to installing this same exact kit. Thanks,
Did you level your truck? I was reading your comment from last year. I wondered if you liked it and how it rode.
@@grayghost1423 I still haven't done it yet. As you well know the past couple years have been crazy. I still plan on doing it with this kit, if I keep the truck.
I like it. I have a 2020 2500 LTZ and love it. I'm wanting to put 35's and now possibly 37's. Like the stance. Congnito leveling kit?
That thing is clean 🔥
But it’s not tuned or deleted 😉
Will it rub with the m/t’s on cognito or kryptonite control arm or does it not make a difference.
Great channel JW..
I like this set up with the stock wheels...Do you think a 3/8 spacer might keep the 37 RT's from rubbing the frame?.
Thanks for your input..great vids 👍
I was hoping they would answer your question. I have a 2020 sierra HD and after lift and 37s it rubs
@@guillermonarvaez123
Yep, I did a 3" lift and installed 37x11:50 Nittos on the factory wheels and it rubs on the frame as well. I don't really like the idea of spacers.
@@JM-pe6nlthx for the response guys! Do u think I can get by with 37s on 18 inch stocks
@@alceja3522
I installed a 2" level and mounted 37x 11.50 on factory rims and they rub the frame slightly at full turn.
@@alceja3522
20 inch wheels

Gorgeous. Is the rear stock height? I have basically the same setup but an inch or so of sag in the back.
Good looking truck!! Does this lift void the warranty of the front suspension
New GMC HD owner here, how does this truck ride after the leveling? Contemplating just bilstein 5100's and no leveling because of ride.

What size tires did you run on those stock wheels? I had 35x12.50R18s that would not fit on the stock wheels without rubbing the upper control arm.
Looking at the big 3 HD's. Leaning toward the GM HD's. Is the Cognito UCA as strong or stronger than the stock UCA?
Much stronger!
How much clearance do you have between the tire and upper control arm ball joint? I installed this set up and only have 3/4 clearance with stock wheels and tires.
So how does it actually ride? How much gap is there between the factory stop and the cognito upper control arm? Thank you
Wait till the refresh on the chevrolet and GMC
how much trimming was required? i really want to run this set up
hey i have a 2021 high country duramax 2500hd and im looking to buy the same leveling kit and control arms seeing if i can fully cover 37s or 35s mud graps or trail graps
Just bought the 2021 3500 High Country, came upon your video looking for lift kits. I can’t find a lift for my 2021. Not sure if the 2020 lifts are the same??
2020 will work! same truck!
Still can’t get on board with these front ends.. if I had to choose between the Chevy and the GMC the GMC has better looking front end to me.

What ended up happening for you?
What video did y’all install the 4.5in bds lift on the older style l5p in this video?
Did you have to cut the bump stops for the cognito arms?
It’s recommended that you do
Nice job on trucks amd video. What do you guys do to make the led head lights flash/flicker?
Its the camera it does that with leds.
LOVE THE 2020 CHEVY
Curious to what you have done differently as my dealer says no to the 37" tires and yes to the 35" tires??
I have a 2022 high country 3500
37x12.50r20 will work, but you need AT tires since MTs have aggressive sidewall. However, AT tires will still rub on the frame at full lock
Looks awesome! Love the new look.
Can the 2020 3500 fit 17s? Gas or diesel?
I have 2018 2500 duramax,guys what’s best option to do my truck to fit 35 tires?
Did you go with factory cab lights and were they tough to install?
These Chevy HD's are so tough and aggressive looking. A lot of people get intimidated by them.
Does it rub? I spoke to several manufacturers and they all are saying you cant put 37's without rubbing. Also, what happens if I dont install the control arms?
They rub at full lock on the frame, especially with mud tires
Awesome vid! Do you think those cab lights work on a 2018 ??
Did this truck have factory cab lights or did you add them? If you added them can you link the kit?
Did you not watch the video?
What about the Kryptonite leveling kit? I’m not trying to troll you man I’m just looking around and your vids are popping up 1 vid says bad and you did 1 on the white 1 so basically is it good or bad
I’d recommend them. Go to my channel and check out the install video on the Kryptonite kit.
How's the wobble in the steering with this set up?
About how much does it cost to have it leveled and 37 in tires installed ? Mines a 2020 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.6 gas and the custom trim level with 20 inch wheels.
Hey Brother I am looking to do the exact same thing to my at4 HD did he end up telling you about how much it would cost roughly
John Preuss Nope he wouldn’t ever respond to me. It’s not like I don’t have the truck. I was trying to get an estimate on how much it would cost.
Thanks for the info but I am not going to be able to do anything until this whole pandemic is stopped but my goal is to get an HD AT4 as soon as everything breaks.

Jonathan Richards Does the 37s on your cousins rub at all? And do you recall which tires he used
What state are y’all from
What strobe kit is that on the led lights
Where are you guys located at?
just bought one, subscribed
What’s the difference between the high country and the AT4?
High country is chevy’s Denali
Could you run 24x12s on 37s with that leveling kit?
No, 5” lift will clear
How is the ride after the leveling kit is put on ?
Nevermind I just heard on the video lol
Does it run at all with the 37S. ? How much did the levelling kit cost ?
Any spacers needed?
Chevy all the way 👍🏾👍🏾
I think the red 2020 trail boss looks best because of the color match bumpers
Do you think I can fit 37s on stock 2020 dually?
No way
What brand of tire do you have on it
Toyo RT
JW Montoya hey JW does it rub at all I have a 2020 2500hd duramax and i want 37
I am liking them better with that look. Looking bad ass jw
Why don't 4x4 trucks come leveled from the factory? It's 2020 come on!
They do it bc of aerodynamics and for towing purposes. AT4s come leveled
JW Montoya I think only the 1500 at4 comes leveled. My at4 2500 doesn’t look leveled
Because its the best setup for their real purpose.
Woot woot 👍🏼🇺🇸
ours came with 35's, 37's would fit stock easily.
So really you should lift it as you get rub with some tires.
Does this 2 in. Lift on 37s also apply to the 2500 ? Are the 3500 and 2500 the same size ?
It should be the same
@@JWMontoya that's awesome thnx for the reply . fyi i freakin luv the new 2500/3500 style
Anyone else notice the dent on the passenger side
That was actually dirt
I love the 2020 duramax
High country looks great. I hate the ones that do not have a bowtie
Same!
I did not like the high country at first but when i saw it for real, i changed my mind quickly.
I put that kit on my 2500 road like crap
Must install upper control arms, otherwise the control arm bangs on the frame stop everything you hit a bump and has garbage ball joint angle.
Fuck I love that truck
Shrimp fried
LOL act your age
How much would the leveling kit with the control arms installed be?
