Lil more lift
I've already put a levelin kit and rear blocks and upgraded to 33x12.5x20 but I still want my truck to sit up another 2 in. or so.. is there a 2 in. suspenion lift or is that basically the leveling kit? And if not what size body lifts are made for a 01 Silverado 1500 z71?

looks like they only have the 3" on this site but i'd check around befor u go and order from RC..they are a bit expensive but they are cheaper in other parts if u know what i mean.. jegs..summit racing.. skyjacker...just a few to check.. but i do believe u can get 1"-3" body lift

Hey whats up Country,
Body lifts are alright, but in the long run can cause some major frame rust. If u do decide to use a body lift i would recomend really preping ur frame with some rust stuff (PR-something??). summit does sell a suspension lift for a little more $$. And u also won't have nasty gaps like the body lifts.

about $1000. yea i know its much but its worth it. and that 4" to 6". You'll be buyin new tires soon any way... (toyos are horrible).
Or you could always crank your torsion keys and add a leaf. Just watch your alignment.

well i found a 2 in. lift system from superlift and it's not the torsion key lift..it has actual lift components but I want to know if I can use them along with the torsion key lift or would I have to take out the keys?

What components does it come with?? And no i don't think you'll have to remove your keys. (pretty sure with any application they stay in bc of their purpose)

Chevy haven't used coils for awhile. i think maybe 70s they did or even earlier then that. Your torsion bars/keys are your "coils".
Please any one correct me if im wrong.

I thought Fabtech Made a coil over kit for it where you can put springs in. I was looking at them for my truck unless I was looking at them wrong. I have ordered the wrong stuff off the internet before so I may be
