About to order Level, is this right?


Recommended Posts

I have a 02 1500HD and I really hate how low the front end is, so I settled on a leveling kit, but because I tow quite a bit I still want a bit of "rake" so I plan on ordering blocks as well. Sort of a budget lift, if you will.

 

Going to order this leveling kit: http://www.readylift.com/products/chevy/chevy-silverado-1500/leveling-kits/chevy-silverado-1500hd-2500hd-leveling-kit-2000-2010-2wd-4wd-8-lug-2-5/front-leveling-suspension-forged-torsion-key-66-3050.htm

 

And these blocks (considering 2"): http://www.readylift.com/products/gmc/gmc-sierra-2500-3500/rear-block-kits/chevy-silverado-gmc-sierra-1999-2010-2wd-4wd-8-lug-1-block-kit/chevy-2000-2013-block-kit-66-3051.html

 

The level includes shock extenders. I have read almost every topic I could find on the internet about whether shock extenders are a good thing or not, and I am getting to the point I just want something that works. I farm and this truck spends a fair bit of time in the fields doing some light-medium off-road work. Just wondered if this setup will work for what I want? Not really worried about the ride that much, used to the 1-ton for the most part. I am a little concerned about destroying my front end with extenders, in my experience anything that "spaces" or "extends" is usually a bad thing.

 

I don't want to piece together some kind of mis-match setup, I am just wondering if these two things will work for my needs.

 

ORRR would an add-a-leaf give me what I am looking for in the rear? Less sag when towing, while the front is raised a bit? Something like this: http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/ran-rs60645/overview/make/chevrolet/model/silverado-1500-hd
