    Default Rear Suspension

    I have a 07 Silverado and I want to drop the rear so it's level with the front but I’m not sure the best way to do it. What would be the best way without affecting the ride?

    havent seen a kit to level the truck by lowering, but you can always get the t-bar keys to lift the front level

    There's a bracket you can buy or you could fabricate one to flip the leaf springs under the axle.

    A set of 2" drop shackles will do the job nicely.
