leveling kit

**wilsonator** · 03-09-2008, 06:26 PM

i was thinking of putting a leveling kit on my truck to drop down the back end a couple of inches to be level with the front. I know everyone does this but does it have any long term effects on the suspension when you do that

Well if you just want to lower the rear check out djm I think they have a kit for you. I don't think you'll have any problems at all long term.

These new leveling kits are just that...new. I dont know if there is anyone who can tell you about any long time problems. By the looks of them they should work for the life of the vehicle though.

had the leveling kit added to the front of an 08 silverado, it looks great and didn't even need an alignment, don't wait, get out and have it done now!

I don't think wilsonater wants to level the front buy adding the leveling kit (by the was round here that means lifting it

) we wants to lower the rear so that it sits level with the front.

you better go get your front end aligned. I leveled my av and thought i didnt need an alignment but i went anyway you and the toe was out tremendously.

I wasnt planning on touching the front of the truck just lowering the back, that shouldnt affect the alignment i wouldnt think, maybe im wrong if so would someone shed some light on the subject. Ive never messed with lowering one of my trucks before so im pretty ignorant on the subject.

I'd love to get the leveling kit on the front... but with the extended warranty I bought for my truck , it says it would be voided if any modification (including lift kits) were installed.
