Default Autocross and a Silverado....
I drive a 2004 Silverado RST.....handles real well (i think). Eventually going to get an LSD unit and Hotchkis Sway Bars.

I was wondering if anyone here races Autocross with their truck... are we even allowed to? I really wanna get into it. Anything you suggest i should add to the truck to make it autocrossable if it isnt already? How about road racing too?

I'd say go to a 4link rear, some sway bars like you said, a 4/6 or 5/7 drop, and some sticky tires.

There was a guy on here who had a RCSB that he ran, and they did an article on it in GMHTP. I'll try to remember the guy's name....

if you dont want to go to the expense of the 4link get the hotchkis TVS and some edelbrock performer IAS shocks or even better QA1 shocks
