A few pics of truck with McGaughys 7" lift kit

[Silverado4x4]

Truck looks great but the only thing I dont like is the bottom "A" arm in the 4th pic looks weak and not beefy looking but that might be the pic.

Looks great!

Looks good but from the pics. it looks like the rear of the truck needs to come up a bit. Looks like the front sits higher.

Looks great....Can you do a 1" block in the rear so the front isnt higher?

Yours looks good becasue its not far off, but i think it looks horrible when the front of a truck is noticibly higher then the rear..

Its a half inch higher. That looks completely level if you ask me.

Looks like there is a ton of weight in the bed. My ZR2 was that way after the 6" lift, had to add a larger block.

Why do the lift companies make the lift so the front end is pointing to the sky?

The truck sits level (although from the angles of the pics it appears to have some Cali lean) and it rides great. The trucks final measurements from the fenders are 47" in the front and 46.5" for the rear.

 

 

 

There is nothing "sky high" about that front end. I bet if you put a level on the roof, it would right on or pretty close. Lift companies make their kits to sit truly level to allow for tire clearance issues, and probably because rake looks terrible.

Nothing wrong with the way that truck is sitting. Looks perfect to me.

Yeah, I'm not following the idea of having a lifted truck nose heavy. I think the OP's truck looks awesome!

Let everything settle and I'm sure that nose will come down.

Lift is achieved with spacers up front. His factory struts have long been settled.

I'll try to get some updated pics taken from a different location and I'll pay closer attention to the camera angles so you can see that it sits level. I realize now from the angle the pic was taken it appears to have some wicked Cali lean but as stated before it does not. It sits almost perfectly level. And Matts correct about the truck not settling. The McGaughy lift uses a strut extender to give you the additional clearance while maintaining the factory ride.

I'm coming up on 2 months of having the kit installed and am loving it so far.

Truck looks great.

Here's some pics I took with my iPhone. It demonstrates how pics taken from different angles can make a truck look not so level-

[Roscopcoletrain]

Yeah, no cali lean there. Looks great
