Silverado 1500 lift help

[TXGREEK]

Hadn’t looked at the kit yet, this one won’t keep stock track width and angles right?

Any luck finding out anything on the 2wd? I’ve found that the spindle kit is all they have for the 2WD and in addition it barely adds maybe a half inch or so to the stock track width which is still a huge difference when compared to the other lift kits that are approximately 2” wider track.

Here’s what I’ve found for the 2WD, it’s maximum .50” (1/2”) wider track width on either side, again, smallest track width for spindle kit available through any competitors which are multiple inches wider. That’s also a great kit, just add rear blocks and taller shocks

If you’re planning on keeping your truck a long time I’d go with a superior quality high end lift like CST Performance Lifts. Especially if wanting to keep your track width and turning radius without having to use controversial spacers added to the rear. You can even keep your original wheels and fits up to 35” tires. My lift is a 4.5” CST Performance Lift, 20x9 295/60/20 (34”) Nitto Ridge Grapplers






Here’s the CST 4.5” lift on sale, read up on it and you’ll see why it’s so badass.

Remember, lots of different quality out there and not all lifts are created equal. Oh, don’t forget to add the cost to install, unless of course you’re doing your own install which don’t recommend unless you’re pretty good with tools. Good luck!

Btw, when it comes to your suspension, DON’T GO CHEAP!!! you’ll end up paying for it in the end......

Is this the Stage 1 or 2? I'm thinking of a 4.5 and possibly putting 35x12.5xR20 toyo MT on the stock Chevy 20s. trying to find a quality kit that doesn't cost a fortune, I've been looking into zone but the track width is the issue that I am not too fond of

Yeah, I’d avoid widening your track width and turning radius as much as possible. Mine is stage 1 but I believe stage 2 only adds rear gas shocks which if that’s the case I think I’m past all that with CST Coil Overs and rear CST Piggybacks. I’d stick with stage 1 and get your own rear shocks. The CST lift has super high quality, thick reinforced gussets etc etc versus BDS and the others but you’re going to pay for it.
If you’re just looking for a lift (look) and keeping it a street truck without going off road then I’d look at that 5” Bracket Lift from RC, RC isn’t a high quality lift manufacturer but that bracket lift isn’t bad on your front geometry and won’t widen your track width either. It’s only a $400 difference but I’d still get the CST over any other. My setup is: 20x9 with 295/60/20 (34”) Ridge Grapplers. If you’re planning on keeping the truck a long time I’d stick with CST, Good luck
