Default Level kit??

Ok guys, i know this question has been asked a million times, but here goes.. I'm looking at leveling my 09 silverado.. And i'm not sure what to do... I was looking at the rough country 2" level kit, just a spacer at the bottom of the strut.. Does it really lift the front end 2"s.. then there is ready lift, that has a upper spacer and the same bottom spacer.. What is better? and what really lifts the front end? i'm just looking for a mild lift, really level look so i can do 285/70/18... Info would be great guys.. photo's of rides done would be even better.. Thanks

the ranch ready lifts are known to last....you could also turn up the torsion bars for about two inches....for alot cheaper....but a ready made lift is the way to go

it's a 1500 series, so it has the coil over front suspension, they went away from the torsion bar set up.. so i have to go with the spacers..

That's what I'm gonna do going to buy 1" spacer that supposedly raises the front end up two inches hopefully my cv joints will be ok :/. Only thing to worry about is that its better to buy the metal spacers because they don't sag over time like the plastic ones.

make sure that you get an alignment after you install it
