Default How can i re-lift my 2003 silverado?

I bought i 2003 silverado about a year ago and now im ready to lift it a little and get new rims and tires but the truck came with the rear level to the front... i would like to know the easiest way to make the rear back up to stock and make the front level with the rear.

i know confusing but please help!

This site helps explain the basics of leveling kits and the different types: http://www.4wheelparts.com/off-road/leveling-kits.aspx

If I am not mistaken you have coil overs struts and will use a strut extension to raise the front of your ride instead of the torsion keys. I have not done much research on the price but this should cost around $200.

I have no knowledge of lowering kits for trucks but I would assume that in order to raise the rear of your truck back to its original stance you would simply replace the rear block kit with an original stock kit. This is the part that I really am unsure about so please correct me someone if I am mistaken.

All in all it will probably cost you a little more than $200 dollars to take the rear back to stock stance and then even the front out, but I would not expect much more than $300.

I am still a newb to all this too but I hope I was able to help! : )

After a bit of research online I found this how to guide so maybe it can be of help to you. Also some other threads on different websites said the shop could do it in a hour or it wouldnt take you much longer than than that to do it yourself, it depends on mechanical skills. I think around 300 sounds right. Do research on what brand you want since there are many. Here is the thread I found where they were talking about this. http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31716
