Figured since lifted 2wd are so popular right now, might as well make a thread on the different kinds of lifts available. geared towards the 1500's, but 2500/3500 guys dont be afraid to speak up, ill add the info. this thread is intended to show the different kinds of lifts available to 2wd GMT400's.
Thanks in advance from everyone i stole pictures from, if you dont want your truck on here, just shoot me a PM.
Spring Spacers/Leveling Kit:
Springs spacers are relatively cheap, most are 1" or 2", available from eBay, Canuck Motorsports (CM), Daystar and other brands, i myself bought a set of 2" CM Spacers, never did install them.
Picture of typical spacers
Daystar Spacer:
Example of Spacers (I think 2?") with 32x11.5
Springs:
Springs are the first kit Rough Country (RC) Sell, CM also stock most coils, in a range of sizes.
RC sell a 2" kit that includes shocks, blocks and BJ spacers
CM sells coils in 2" and 3"* and in V6 or V8.
*3"+ will require an aftermarket upper control arm.
Example of the RC 2" Kit with 30x9.5's
Spindles:
Spindles are another popular kit, available in 4", RC, CM, Fabtech, etc.
Some of examples of Spindle lifted trucks.
4" Spindles, 32x11.5R15's
4" Spindles, 285/70R17 and 6 lug swap
Fabtech 7.5" (Discontinued):
Fabtech was making a 7.5" kit, not sure on the specs of it, currently discontinued.
Body Lift:
Body lifts are the same for 2wd as 4wd, Performance Accessories, Zone, Summit Racing, all have them 2" or 3"
This is a cheap way to get lift, but does show frame.
Example of 3" Body, 33x12.5
Random Lifts/Tire size's
4" Spindle, 3" Body, 35x12.5
4" Spindle, 1" Spacer, BJ Spacers, 32x11.5
