i have a 2009 silverado z71 that i recently put a leveling kit on and love the way it looks, however the front sits about 3/4 of an inch higher than the back so i would like to raise the back about 2 inches. i dont tow a whole lot and was wondering if blocks would be the way 2 go or if i should just get a set of add a leafs. any opinions?

 

Look into some shackles that will give you the lift. Blocks remove the flex that your
leafs currently have. This will make your truck ride really harsh, painfully harsh, and
it will impede your overall handling.

thanks. i heard shackles were an unsafe way to lift a truck tho

 

Why not crank down on your torsion bars to lower the front a little?

 

I have to disagree with blocks making the ride harsh. Add a leafs will make the ride worse, but blocks should not change the ride at all. I say put some 2" blocks and call it a day.

 

i want to lift my truck anyhow so i wanted to do something to the back. and my truck is an 09 so it doesnt have torsion keys on it. i think i am gonna go with the blocks thanks guys
