problems with 6"lift and 2" leveling kit


Recommended Posts

Posted

i have a 2008 silverado 1500 4wd with a 6" bds suspension lift with 2.5 fox coilovers. recently i added a 2" leveling kit the kind that bolts right on top of the lower control arm. by doing that i reduced the play i had in my upper control arms and i immediatly noticed the ride quality diminished (no doubt from the lack of play in the upper) so my question , is there any way i can fix it to accomidate the 2" leveling kit and get back my ride quality? has anybody ran into this problem? i already asked around and have been told to remove the leveling kit, i figured i ask around before doing so.

You can buy new upper control arms from folks like rough country, ready lift, etc. that provide correct angles for lifted applications. This would help but your LCA's, TRE's and CV's are still going to be stretched. Primarily your CV's will probably bind like a mo fo. I have the BDS kit with a 1" leveling kit that mounts under the strut. My angles are still decent but I do have some UCA's that I plan to swap when my ball joints fail.
