What's the pros & cons of both?! Which is better on the truck ? I have a 99 silverado running 285/75/16 stock lift .. I just want it to sit a little higher for the looks .. But don't wanna get something & it stretch linkage & ruin other stuff . Idk what to get someone help

get a rear AAL or rear blocks.. and get new keys in the front, that will make you sit a little higher like you said.... its either what i just said or a full lift kit which you said you dont want so that narrows it down

I heard AAL ride rough I found a 2 inch lift with 4 shocks & keys & AAL but I think ill go with blocks instead of leafs can I do that? Use the lift without the leafs ? @ what size blocks should I get

I'm thinking the suspension lift , anybody got a 2 inch suspension lift? Pics? & what size tires are 33s I'm most positive my tires 285/75/16 are like 32.70 inches what size tire would look right & fit with a 2 inch suspension? 295/75/16? Or

First you said u had the leveling kit on your truck & send me the link but just now said its suspension, which one is it

The only difference between a leveling kit and 2" suspension is that on the suspension lift the rear is raised as well. Both lift the front the same way

Ide say run both. I ran a 2" lift with AALs, and a 3" BL on my 05 and was able to fit 35s. I loved it. The AAL doesn't seem to run any rougher to me, but Im used to driving 2500s and 3500s. Im running the same suspension parts on my 07 Classic and Im very happy with them. The AAL I got was supposed to be a 2", but it actually netted me about 2.75" at first, and settled to about 2.25". I would recommend cranking your stock keys first to see if you can get the amount of lift you want before dropping coin on new keys. Sometimes you get lucky and can get the lift you want for free, but with a 99 don't be disappointed if you have to buy new keys.

 

Here is the truck on that setup.

a body lift wont change your suspension at all. a proper BL wont ruin anything either. ive had mine on for near 100,000 miles now without issues. i have a performance accessories 3" body lift.
