2wd lift or leveling kit ???

[josh]

I got a 97 Chevy c3500 2wd and it's sitting pretty bad I need to pick up the front a couple of inches any suggestions ? Lift kits ? Leveling kits ? New parts ?

Go with the RC 4". STAY AWAY from the RC 2". I love the look but getting the damn thing aligned is NOT worth it Or go with some doetsch
3" spindles. They are more expensive but better than a spacer.

rc is only for a 1500 your only and best option will be the fabtech lift spindles for 2500,3500 they are great looking and high quality also 2" coil spacers may level but will worsen ride the spindles will ride just like factory. as always you can body lift but that does not help the nose down situation

I should have read better. BL or a spacer is the est option.

the fabtechs are a litte more dime to put out but way worth it on looks and ride

You can either by a coil spacer for $30 bucks to raise the front end 1.5" or spend $1000 on Fabtech.....worth it? not in my opinion for a 2wd truck.

Most people people don't realize how limited the options are for these 2wd 2500 and 3500 trucks

Actually I'm not even sure Fabtech makes anything for the C3500, it might only be on the C2500. I'd be curious to learn the differences in suspension and brakes between the 2500 and 3500

Yeah, they make 6 lug 2500's and 8 lug 2500's (HD) as far as suspension the lift kits that i have looked at are the same for the 2500 Hd and 3500 however, that is for my k3500. You guys are talking about coil spacers? I thought all these trucks have torsion bars and dampening shocks?

 

[aggieman]

Nope they do not if I am correct

 

[95C1500]

I know 1500's don't.

K models (4wd) have torsion bars, C models (2wd) have coil springs

...this seems to be a little known fact on these forums...
