I used my same hitch I’ve always had but put it in the lowest setting. Thought I may have to get a different drop hitch but it’s pretty level. I think it’s a 6” drop. I’m still going to bring the truck down 3.5” and just do a leveling kit on the 35’s over this 6.5” lift. It’s still too big for my wife to drive. Difficult to see out the front, etc. and since she drives the truck daily, gotta have her comfortable in it.you can’t really tell in pics but the hood right now sits probably 5’6” tall.

Ours is a late year model 2024 3500 (newer grille and dash). But I will definitely look into it. I freakin love the thing so far. Can’t believe how nice it tows. And minimal ass sag too. I was worried o was gonna have to put bags on but it seems to be fine and rides great!
edit:
I just googled it and it does say the recall extends into 2024 models but I plugged my vin into the GM recall website and it doesn’t list any pending recalls. Shows a couple recalls that were addressed last year (computer issue and a trailer brake controller issue).

It may have a completely different transmission than the 2500. From a MFG standpoint, I wouldn't think so. From a usage standpoint, I could definitely see the 3500 having a more robust transmission. I really don't know.
Thanks. Brad.

I’ll do more research, maybe drop by the dealership. I can tell you the 3500 over 2500 tows night and day better (of course our 2500 was also 20 years older). Seriously can barely tell I’m towing the boat with the 3500. Drives and rides insanely nice. Really happy with the truck. I joke that the inside is as nice as our S63! lol
