what is the best/cheapest way to level the front of a 2wd silverado with coils in the front? not drop the back 2" but raise the front 2". has anyone else done this?

i got springs from springtech, they have 2" and 3", 120 on ebay 130ish on their site
the easiest way is to get lift spindles, if the wheel tire package gets too heavy then you need springs, i ran 31's-35's on a 4" spindle and the ride is fine, the stock springs dont really like the 35"s though and wont last long
you need a real 2.5-3" to be level

I sent you that pic of mine Carey. That's all stock stuff with a 2" spacer and a 2" block in the back on 33" Pro Comp A/T's I really need to add a spindle to the front to get it level. I don't see how a lift spring would fit after going from drop coils for years back to stock stuff it was damn near impossible to get the spring in. Spacer and/or spindles is the most common way to go. And FYI I fit 33s at stock 2wd height without rubbing anywhere. The spacers definitely gave it some breathing room up front though.

spacers are simple but they add to the overall length and installed length of the spring, quite simply its a bi*** to get the factory spring in, let alone add a another inch or two to it....
i got 2" lift springs from spring tech and they are actually a little shorter than the factory one....it is still a pain to get them in but with practice it gets easier

idk about 33's fitting stock with out rubbing i had 33's with a 4" spindle and they rubbed, there is very little clearence between the tire and bumper, and a wider/deeper offset will make rubbing worse

i say stuff 35's and trim accordingly

how do ya'll install front springs? i always drop the inside of the lower a-arm and lift it back up with a jack and have never had any problems getting springs in or out

Same here.

i have never done it that way but have thought about it many times...next time i will

i just swing the arm all the way down, put in the spring and use a big pry bar to pull the arm up enough to get the jack back under

my 33's never came close to touching anywhere at stock height. didnt rub the valance or inner fender lock to lock
