ok so if i install a 2" block that should put me where i need to be? and of course the shocks will have to be considered. thistruck is not going to haul alot of weight so that is not an issue. and thanks for your reply................coilpac

 

Is your spring pack on top or on the bottom? If it is onthe bottom of the axelthen you will be able to put a block in there and that will lower the truck, but if it is on the top then you will have to do an pirch swap to the bottom of the axel. If you just want it leveled out then I would look at doing the front before I started to work at the back. Good luck!

 

coilpac... I support you and your quest for traction... What you need is a set of 2" drop shackles... They go on your truck on the rear of the leaf springs, and basically lift the rear of the leaf springs up, lowering the frame... The best part is they are like $50... PM me if you have any questions...

 

gpet. Im wondering how changingthe location of the spring perches changes the load capacity of the springs. Sorry, its late and im bored at work.

 

2" REAR SHACKLES THE WAY TO GO,WILL NOT CHANGE THE RIDE WILL LEVEL THE TRUCK
OUT. I HAVE THEM ON MY 2004 SIERRA SLT.

 

The height difference on my truckis 1 inch. I measured from the front fenders to the ground and the rear fenders to the ground. So is there a 1" rear shackles anywhere that anyone knows of? It would be cheaper than raisingmy front end with the torsion bars, stiffening the frontends ride and having it re-aligned.My dad's truck has 1 or 2 inch selectable drop shackles on it. So I agree with JB 2004 the shakles are the way to go.

 

Yes, I would also agree the shackels are the way to go. The question posed to me was how hard is it to do an axel over swap. The shackels will serve the purpose with out all the extra work.

Personally I would put bags under it and then call it a day, that way you have a better ride quality and don't loose the ride height that you want and you will be able to carry the loads that you want.

Good luck on your endevers!
