96 C1500 New to Forum

I just pulled my ATV into the bed, dropped 1.5". My spare was in there as well, so probably close to 1000 lbs. Before the AAL, it dropped about 2".

hmm, well thats not bad. With the new AAL out back underload, I'll be better off than I am now.

What shocks are you running? I'm curious if you've got some stiffer shocks.
My RS5000's are right around OEM specs, and I like the ride. Not too firm or too soft, but of course I don't know how the OE shocks rode new cuz I was 4 years old then...

And for your situation with 4WP... that's rough. My shop wasn't bad. They did follow their schedule and things turned out fine for me.

Welcome from another green 96 C1500

Here's some photos if you want any ideas on going up in height - https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/111481995987780946204/albums/5910267711935803041

A block is definitely easier than an AAL.

I just took a closer look at some of your photos, that truck is really nicely done! I've gotta get some more shots together and post up for the other work put in.

They are the Bilstein 5100s in the rear.

How do you like the ride? Bilstein 5100's are firmer and taller than OE correct?

I'm in North San Diego County. Where abouts are you?

I'm up in the Central Valley, so probably about 6-7 hours north of you. Take your truck to the beaches much? It would be fun to zip around the sand in a lifted 2wd.

No never have, I just do a little off roading when hunting. Haven't headed north for any reason, its really just a cleaned up DD family work truck. Needed a little more clearence so i went with the 4"Spindles. Soon to lift up the rear a tad.
