Hello. Quick question regarding lifting my silverado. I'm looking specifically at loaded strut assemblies. Is all I need the loaded struts, new upper control arms, blocks + shocks for the rear?

Should anything else be replaced or is that a pretty safe and effective lift? I see some kits with tons of parts and wondering if it's all really necessary. Thanks!

Extended brake lines & wheel speed sensor extensions if you want to do it right

make sure you life the front and the back

not just the front.

Lift the front all the way. Carolina Rake ftw

rough country lifts are very entry level and their shocks are junk

that thing is going to ride like shit.

spend the $ and get a quality kit

carli/bds/fabtech/icon all good stuff. and get good shocks, king, fox, bilstien


also stay away from lift blocks. junk

king coilovers, mazzulla upper control arms, deaver leaf springs

have custom deaver packs in the rear of my 90 1ton sas bronco and they work so well off road.

gotta go 4 link at some point but they have been awesome for probably close to 12 years

Lol yes for sure. None of that Cali/Florida nonsense.






So am I correct in thinking I only need coilovers, upper control arm, rear lift. I'm unsure what all the extra parts are in some kits and if they are necessary

yeah pretty much, there's prob some youtube videos showing the install process of that exact kit you're looking at. watch a couple of them to see the parts/tools you'll need to complete the job and how easy it actually is.

if it comes with a diff drop spacer, i'd throw that away
