Exclamation *New user*00' silverado suspension mods

Hello everyone my name is Michael and im new to this forum,and im still learning to navigate the website.So forgive me if im asking in the wrong part of the site.i have a stock 2000 Silverado 1500 ext,i plan to lower it 1st and sometimeengine mods after that. So what id like to know is what would be a good kit to purchase for my truck,im looking for a 3/5 drop and something that can ride comfortable,but that can also handle corners very well,id prefer something that isnt crazy in price,but no cheap parts either. so what im pretty much looking for is a suspension kit,bushings,and sway bars. And any other things you guys think i would need. also, no i dont think ill be flipping the rear leaf springs, so that would be out of the question.


Thanks, R3d

Is your truck 2wd or 4wd? Welcome to the forum!

Definitely add a rear swaybar. The hellwig bar is what I'm running, from what I gather they're all going to deliver the same results.

As bad as this is going to sound, I found that the best ride quality was to mix/match.

Front:
McG spindles
BT springs
BT Shocks

Rear:
CNotch (your choice as to who)
DJM flip kit (so you can adjust the pinion angle)
1in lift shackle
BT Shocks

I've also got front/rear swaybars.
