Leveling Kit

[250motorsportz]

New to the site here guys, been searching around all day. I want a leveling kit, but I don't just want to bring the front up to be level. I wanted to actually bring up the front as much as I could (2" or 2.5"?) and then put "blocks" or lift shackles in the rear to make it level that way i'll be lifting my whole truck. I wanted a susp. lift but don't want to run into warranty problems nor do I want to pitch out that kinda money. So what do you guys recommend I run? Im looking at this setup from Canuck Motorsports in Vancouver which is only a couple of hours away from me, so I can get it the same day as I really want to do it this week.

Should I do a bottom strut mount spacer or top? Whats the diff other than the install? Are the rear lift shackles good or would blocks be better? Thanks!

 

My truck is the two-tone Silverado, the right is my buddys Sierra with a front top mount spacer on 33x12.50x20s (I wanna get something like his stance, higher if possible)

First of all, welcome. As far as leveling the truck goes, both a top or bottom mounted strut spacer will accomplish the same thing. I personally am not a fan of the factory rake, so I wouldn't lift the rear at all, since the front sits about 2" lower than the rear from the factory. Lifting only the front will achieve a level stance. If you want to go higher without adding a suspension lift, then you could add a 3" body lift as well. If more lift is desired, just go for a suspension lift. Most dealerships won't hassle you about a lift unless the failure is DIRECTLY related to the lift itself.

Thanks! I think i'll just order the bottom mount spacers in that case, easy to install and I dont have to remove the strut. What company/brand should I go with? SICK truck by the way, I like your setup.

I went with the Ready Lift 2.25 inches inthe front and am adding the blocks in the back to get me a slight rake....The ready lift uses a combo top and bottom spacer on the strut and factory style blocks in the rear. It cost a little more than the Rough Country but I believe is a better engineered product.
