Leveling kit questions

[cowboysfanmd]

I have a new 17 Silverado LTZ 4x4. I had the dealership install a Readylift 2.25" leveling kit up front and 1" blocks in the back so the it would still retain a little rake to it and not squat over time.

 

I noticed that the steering feels "light" to me meaning it does not have as much resistance when turning. I talked to the dealership before making the suspension change and they said it would not be affected.

 

I also talked to Readylift, who said the same. I recently ran into someone at a car wash who also had a 17 Silverado with a front leveling kit, the owner of the truck said he did not notice a difference. Has anyone else noticed a difference in the steering, or am I just hyper sensitive to this.

 

 

Also I feel the trucks suspension feels a little floaty when running on uneven roads. Would replacing the shocks with 2.0s or other brands make the truck ride more like the factory ride?

 

the dealership just gave me a stock 17 model 4x4 as a loaner while my truck is having some unrelated warranty issues resolved,and I definitely can tell the difference.

 

Can I make changes to make ride and feel more like stock while keeping the lift, or is this something I have to accept with the leveling of the truck.

 

Thank you in advance for the feedback, sorry for the long posting to describe my concerns. LOL.

i had the ready lift installed in my 2013 but no blocks in the rear. i didnt have them crank the front up to the max and the ride stayed the same and truck sat leveled with my boat attached to it. just traded that truck for a 2017 and am trying to decide about leveling the front . just looking for an inch and a half up front

Do you think the turn the bolts when adding a leveling kit.

I recently put a top mount 1.5 spacer on my 17. It feels lighter in steering wheel to me. You aren’t alone. I like the look but not the feel.
