Leveling A 2wd

[belandguy]

hey guys, just wondering if there is an easy way to level out the front of my truck (94 sierra 5.7l 2wd). My front shocks we're finished so I changed them and it still sits at pretty much the same height. I just want it a bit higher so that it is at least a bit leveled with the back of the truck. I have heard of these coil springs spacers but i'm wondering if they actually work and if so how much they cost. any help would be great, thanks

I have coil spacers from suspensionmaxx.com

Here's some pics:

 

 

 

 

In that pic. I had just put them in the day before, and they actually measured about 3/8" higher in the front, but now they have settled in, and it measures perfectly level. Here's the LINK to the spacers I got, and now they're only $42, I paid like $75 a couple months ago. As shown in the pics. they go under the springs, and they are made of cast aluminum, so they are very durable and won't wear out. I installed them myself, I was thinking you would need a spring compressor, but you do need to drop the lower control arm. This requires removing the bottom shock bolts, the sway bar link, and the 2 large bolts that hold the control arm on. If you have some skills, you should be able to do this, but I will say, it isn't exactly an easy task.

I also looked into the polyurethane kits made by Daystar that mount to the top of the springs, and they are almost $150, and I wasn't to sure if I wanted the plastic ones, so I opted for the cheaper aluminum spacers.

 

If you have any other questions, let me know and I'd be glad to help you out, and if you need any other pics. let me know, and I'll try to get them asap

ok thanks a lot man, that really helps, I think I should be able to do it by myself, if not then i'll just bring it in somewhere but I think I should be ok. Your truck looks great by the way

Thanks, the hardest part is to get the jack positioned just right to get the holes to line up to re-attach the control arm, it took some persuasion(aka a hammer) and an alining tool

ya I can imagine. Did you have to get a front end alignment after?

[700 sportsman]

Yes, you'll need an alignment for sure, my truck already needed an alignment, so I just did this first and they said it was out of whack pretty bad
