04 1500 HD question
 

I have a 04 silverado 1500 ls model. I like to go hunting and things like that so as much as I want to lower it I cant do it so i dont lose the ground clearance. I saw a 1500 HD today that had the ride height of a 3/4 ton which I liked since the regular 1500 seems to ride kinda low in the front.

Whats involved to swap to the HD suspension, is it just coils and leafs or is the whole assembly different? Thanks in advance for any input you can give on this one.

do air bags so u can lower when you want

RE: 04 1500 HD question
 

i understand where your coming from with bags but even with them fully inflated I dont get the clearance that I would with stock setup not to mention I dont like the idea of going off road with air ride....thanks though

im not sure, but i'd bet the whole assembly is different... i'd just go with a lift of some sort

RE: 04 1500 HD question
 

yeah, the only thing is that its a 2wd.....havent seen a lift for a 2wd........ever. someone has to know its an entire different assembly or if its just componets....[X(]

rough country and fabtech have 2wd lifts... or you could go with a body lift

RE: 04 1500 HD question
 

hmmmm I will have to look at that....I would prolly opt for the suspension lift vs the body lift though.........question, i noticed in your sig you de screened your MAF.........how much did it help? I would like to get one of the aftermarket ones but they aint cheap

i noticed increased throttle response, but thats about it... but its free, so its hard to beat for a value

If you don't like the way the front of the truck is lower they sale leveling kits. You could find them at four wheel parts or off road unlimited. I think its a spacer that goes above the coil. It is very inexpensive.

I'll have to find out who has them (prob Fab Tech) but they have sweet lifts for 2wd trucks that make them look like a Baja truck. I'd do it if I had a 2wd.
