I have a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 6inch Skyjacker suspension lift on the truck but want to put torsion bar keys in the front and make it a little taller but I cant find anything to lift the rear up. I already have Add-a-Leafs on it and 5 inch Axle blocks that came with the lift. Is there anything else I can put on it to bring the rear up 2 inchs or more?

Becareful with the torson keys with the lift kit. Years ago we tried new torson keys on my 6" lifted truck, adjusted them up and drove the truck for a test drive. When I got back the front CV axle boots had pulled loose because the CV joints were over extended. Also I'm sure your lift kit came with a 1"-11/2" add-a-leaf and a 4" lift block for the rear and not a 5" block.

when lifting any vehicle more then a couple of inches axles all must be correctly aligned...axles need to be lenthened, axle u joints/cv joints need be straight.. changing high to your liking is an expensive change. done properly it is do able...done wrong your not going very far ...

other items brake lines, sensor wires suspension components...

Yea I think it was a 4 inch block now that I think about it, I really need to drop the front end down a tad bit because the alignment wasnt the way I wanted but it drives good as far as in 2wd but when I get into 4wd it shakes at higher speeds which makes me wonder if I sould have gone to a longer axle, the only reason I didnt was that skyjacker never said anything about it but most other lift kit brands said I would have to if I wanted to go over 35 mph in 4wd. I just like the way the truck looks being level but if theres any way of going bigger with out screwing to much up id be nice!

What transfer case does your truck have? Look at the tag on the back of the t/case for a number.

Why would axles need to be lengthened as part of a lift? His truck doesn't have axle u-joints. Even if it did, they wouldn't be affected by any amount of lift.

Does the skyjacker lift include Skyjacker shocks. I need to replace rear shocks and there is a good deal on 4 skyjackers (front and rear). I dont do any off-roading - truck is 96 2WD with 4" fabtech lift in front. Most radiacal I might get is jumping curb to avoid traffic. Thanks
