Give me about 2 weeks and I can show you the front pics mom is gonna watch my baby so I can install my leveling keys and bilstiens.

awesome, id love to see the before and after to see if thats what i want to do, the kit im looking at is keys in the front and 2 inch blocks in the rear

Wish I would have taken measurements to actually know how much the front came up, but here is a before and after.

is that raising the front and back?

 

[Erki]

That picture was just the front. But I'm not sure if the 1500hd sat higher stock or not. Those are also only 265/75/16 tires.

 

[silverado13]

im curious if 3 in the front and 2 in the back will make it slightly higher in the back, mine is pretty level stock

 

[Erki]

I'm guessing 2" in back will put it about an inch higher than the front. But that's just a guess. It's it 2" lift in the back or a 2" block. You may already have a1" block from the factory that you will replace. Therefore if your getting a 2" block it will only raise the back 1"

 

[silverado13]

it supposed to be a 2 inch block but everyone so far is saying that your not going to get the whole 3 inches in the front

 

[962000chevy]

3 inches up front may be possible but your angles would be terrible. I'll crank down my stock keys and get some measurements before I install my RC keys and then crank to see how much I'm comfortable with.

 

[silverado13]

is there any cv swaps that can help that

 

[962000chevy]

I'm not sure. I haven't seen any easy fixes simply because even if you don't break CVs every single wearable part under your front end wears faster.

 

[silverado13]

again, sorry for the silly question but whats a 6 inch lift do that doesnt kill the cv

 

[02Beast]

Brings all suspension parts up not just the tbars

 

[Erki]

The lift also drops the diff down some so the angles are closer to level.

 

[silverado13]

oh okay, i think i, going to get a leveling kit and see how i like it for now, eventually a 6 inch lift

 

[962000chevy]

When getting a 6 inch lift kit get one that is a full 6 inch differential drop so that way if you wanna go taller you can crank the bars an inch or two.

 

[02Beast]

That's exactly what I did

 

[silverado13]

matt did you install your own?

 

[02Beast]

Yes I did
