This is my first time posting but wanted to share my experience since I searched this site alot during the process. It may help others in this situation as well.

I originally purchased a ReadyLift 2.25" Spacer kit for my 11 Silverado 1500 LTZ. The suspension shop reccomended I go the Bilstein 5100 route instead as the ride would be better.

Per Bilstein's corporate office, the 5100's provide a MAX of 1.75" of lift (shop ...

I had Tires Plus do an alignment this spring, after plowing was over. They didn't find any loose front end parts, but they didn't get the steering on-center when they did the job :x . I bought the 3-year plan, so I took it back today, to have them fix the steering. They didn't align it today, because they said they found a loose pitman and idler ...

Hey folks, I need some help. I have a 07 1500 WT 4x2 crewcab with 305/22/40 on it and want to drop it. My questions are how far can I possible go without having rub issues or having to put in a c post. I DO NOT hauls heavy bed loads at all so bottoming out on the rear end shouldn't be an issue. My main concern is the front. Please note I have NO ...

Hi all, new here, looking for help. Is there a way that I can find out if there`s any kind of extended warranty on my 06 Silverado pickup? When I bought it, new, it started a kind of slight clunking that telescoped through the steering column, with an audible light clunk. I took it back to the dealer and told the guy, he immediately knew what it was and I left it with them for ...

I bought my Silverado May 11th and I couldn't wait to make it my own. I installed the Rough Country Leveling Kit last Friday. It took me 2 hours, I did the drivers side alone and the passengers side with the assistance of a friend. I must say, if you do this, have a friend help, holding the knuckle and keeping it from stretching your brake line while trying to do everything else is hard ...

Hello new to the forum, just found it a couple weeks ago and love the wealth of knowledge. I have a 2012 sierra 1500 4WD crew cab, I purchased a 2 inch heavy metal lift kit for the front and would like to find a block set for the rear that would lift 1 inch above factory. The ads on ebay are not very well described and one seller that I think has what I ...

It almost knocks ur teeth out when u hit a bump it's that bad! Anyone had this experience with there kit? I thought maybe I did something wrong but there's only one way to put them in ...

I got to looking at AirWolf79's RC 3.5" lift installed with new wheels and I couldnt resist. I decided to purchase the 3.5 with UCA's since I have the RC 1.25 BL sitting in the garage. When it is all said and down ( :twisted: hopefully this weekend :twisted: ), I will have the 4.75 lift kit ...

My truck is cc 2wd drive, I want to level the front that is all! same tires, struts, etc... I was wondering about the rough country kit it looks pretty easy, is it possible to put that kit on a 2wd drive? How difficult is it to do this? Has anybody done this to a 2wd truck? I've seen some of your trucks with the rc level kit and they look sweet.

I am looking to purchase this vehicle.

It is a 1500 lifted half ton 2006, leveling kit with 3/4 ton springs. The tire pressure is 65 on 285/70/17. The reason for this high tire pressure is because the owner wanted to ride the tires evenly across the tread. First set of tires was on vehicle for 96000 miles, second set for 60000.

My question is, the ride is stiff. When I got on the back ...
