Leveling a 2500HD
I recently bought an '02 2500HD 6.0 4x4. Didn't really need a truck like that but with only 89K miles on it I couldn't pass it up. Anyway, the rear sits higher than the front. What is the best and most economical way to either raise the front or lower the rear?
Thanks,
Steve

its suppose to have some rake for when you load it up or tow.
if you want it changed, install a torsion bar key kit that will allow you to life the ride height of the front suspension. get extenders for the shocks also. it will need an alignment afterwards.
search readylift for the price of the kit. Labour for the install will be 1 hour and 1hour for the alignment.

Crank stock keys first. They should level it without buyin a levelin kit. Did it to my girlfriends dad and it sits perfectly level, btw his is a 02 2500hd diesel

i have the same truck. 02 2500hd, mines the ls short bed. crank the torsion bar keys, ttok mine about 8 complete turns. get yourself some new shocks. i went with ranchos. really easy project, a monkey could do it

it not the load, its the fact that the shocks will be extended past there normal working range.
also any changes in ride height with change the caster, camber and toe setting. it you don't align it, you will get toe wear which results in noisey, irregularly worn tires.
