All:I just bought a 1998 Silverado 1500 (4x4 not Z71) with a brand new, freshly installed Rough Country 2-3" Suspension Lift with add-a-leafs (http://www.roughcountry.com/gm-suspe...t-kit-170.html) . The previous owner installed the lift as he needed to replace front end/steering/suspension parts anyways. He installed it correctly and aligned everything afterwards. It may be worth noting that the truck is still riding on stock rims and tires and it looks awkward
I do not like lifts and want it gone. End of story!
Questions for you guys
1) What parts must I remove to remove lift kit? Can I re-use any of the parts when the lift is removed, or are all the parts made to work on a lifted truck?
2) What parts do I need to buy to replace the kit parts? What is the total estimated cost to replace all these parts with OEM parts? I'm assuming it would be the OEM equivalent of all the Rough Country parts but I have no experience with lifts so I don't know. I will jack the truck up with an auto lift to remove these parts. I will do all the labor.
3) How much time is involved to remove a lift and replace it with all stock parts?
4) Do you guys know of any existing resources for removing this type of lift? I couldn't find any...just install documentation.
5) Is there any reason to leave the lift in place and build the truck with the lift in place? As in, removing the lift is a bad idea?
Thanks to all and happy Friday/weekend!!!
