Here's my 2002 SILVERADO ECSB Z71 with Rough Country leveling kit and 33x12.50x16.5 BFG KO's on 16.5 x 9.75" Weld Scorpions (which stuck out a little before adding factory flares), and also pics of the same truck with Escalade wheels and stockers. Still rides just as nice as stock IMO.

BTW, I have considered lowering mine at some point in time, and have to ask why you are considering going back up after lowering?

Not the best pics, but you can see lift/level vs. lowered. Both are 2001 models.

I moved out to the country and have more than 2 miles of washboard dirt roads to get to my driveway. Also couple weeks ago it snow really good, a I turned into my driveway and was greeted with a snow drift up to my hood. ended up getting stuck, getting the wifes deanli stuck trying to free my truck and shoveling till 12 am. I gave up and had the neigbor yank us out with the Bobcat.

I really like pre-runner trucks and something similar would be fun on our dirt roads out here. Not to mention bashing thru snow drifts in my driveway.


Another reason is the wife is prego with Boy # 2 due in late march, I don't wanna risk being stuck in badweather when she goes into labor!!!!

wow! I guess if I had all that going on right now, I'd be seriously thinking about a lowering reversal as well. Good Luck with the truck, and the new baby!

also, I PM'ed you back, but here's the info...

I used Rough Country "Full" leveling kit, bought directly from them for $189.95 + shipping.
Full kit includes torsion keys, rear lift blocks, new u-bolts, and 4 new Nitro 9000 shocks.
The part number is: 283 S

Here is what is included:



I just made up a not too awesome (LOL) MSPaint picture and attached it of how I ensured that the truck was level after the install. I went by the rear measurement, then adjusted the keys in order for the front height to match. I measured from wheel lip (as shown), to fenderlip (as shown), as this takes away any differences of tire bulge, weight, etc.

Just the stock keys cranked about an inch and a half.

I like the dropped look too but like the pre runner look too. I live in the country with lots of dirt roads and like going 100mph down em and not worry about hitting a little bump. LOL
