    Front leveling kit question

    I am looking to get a front leveling kit for my 2004 Silverado 2WD Ext. Cab. I've noticed there are different sizes and wanted to make sure I got the rite size. I want the front level with the rear. Do I need the 1, 1 1/2, or 2 inch kit? Thanks!

    ur lowering ur front end to make it level with ur rear end, or vice versa? if ur lowering ur rear end, which most people have to from stock then 2 inches will work IF u dont have a rollpan(because u lose weight then and need prob a 3 or 4 inch rear drop to compensate). if ur truly lowering ur front end then idk, because idk why itd be higher than ur rear to begin with...

    I think he wants to raise his front end to match the rear of his truck. I'm a fish out of water on this one, not many 2 wheel drive trucks up here in Alaska. I know the truck has coils in the front, but I haven't seen this done before. Only on 4x4 trucks.

    2" coil spacers should give you a level ride. put some 265/70's on it and it will look tough.

    2004 ext 2wd's have torsion bars up front, correct me if I'm wrong guys, if I'm right you could turn the adjusters for the bars to a certain point, but I wouldn't go too far

    there were a few 1500's that had t-bars. i'm pretty sure his doesn't. i "think" VHO's and 4x4's were the only 1500's that have t-bars. but then again James has coils on his 2500....so u dunno.

    i think my dads 04 rcsb 4.8 2wd has torsion bars and i know daniels 99 Z71 had them but yeah that could be the 4x4 effect kicking in there. im certain ive seen rcsb 1500's with tbars before.
