Thought I'd post my leveling results in case someone else is debating which option to use. I recently leveled my 2015 CC with a set of Rancho Quick Lift Loaded shocks, but I was very unhappy with the results. I only got about 1.25" of lift after all that expense and work.
Front fenders before were at 36.5" and 36.75" from the factory. After the QLL they were 37.75" and 38". Ride with the Ranchos felt very close to stock with them set at 5, they ride great.
I did try calling Rancho for help, but they didn't seem to think it's a big deal. They expect 2" or a little less. I'm around 1 1/4". Basically, I can exchange them for another set and see if that helps, which is a pretty big gamble... No thanks. They suggest that it may just be that my truck is longer and heavier than average (CC long bed Laramie).
I decided to try Bilsteins, since I had them on my 2010 and they were great. Amazon got me a set in one day and I installed them last night at 2.8" of lift. They delivered exactly what they're supposed to, so I'm happy now. Front fenders are 39 1/8" and 39 1/4" before the new wheels/tires. So far I've put about 20 miles on it and the ride is great. No vibrations at all in 4x4 on pavement.
With the Bilsteins:
The truck has 1" of rake right now, it looks great. Still need to get it aligned again.
With the Ranchos installed:
New tires and wheels are next! Still waiting for a new set of sensors to get here later today.
