Thanks all !!
I am running the 255/55 ET Street Radials on the rear (about 25-1/2" tall on stock 16"rim) and 275/60 Toyo (a 28" tall on 16" rims). That gives me a natural 2"+ squat. Then I have the QA's adjusted to the softest position.

This is the best I can do without a lift. Sure needs some cleanup. This setup has been on for over 2 years of daily driving and track use. I need to ditch the front sway bar and big heavy tires next time.

I am going to a Jan 31st T&T. Hopefully the slicks will be on and I can report on the 26" out come

Do you have a brand on the four link set up, or did you just piece it together.

It was a cheap setup from 4-5 years ago. My son ordered it on line and had someone put it on. I have no idea on the brand name. I remember it fit terrible and the guy had to do some rigging to make it work.

He started school, lost interest, and bought a little Colorado truck, so I took the Silverado back and swapped the motor and started to use as my DD.

Sorry, wish I could help. I will ask if he remembers.

KP Components (may not have been cheap afterall, I just assumed with the fit).

Yup, that's a KP setup alright. I like how it was adapted to work with coilovers and not airbags. The KP kit isn't exactly designed for traction, but it's nice to see it can hold up to the power. It can easily be modify to include adjustability like a typical drag style 4 link.

I remember a guy that used to post on here with a black stepside with a 4 link in it. Was this your son's truck?

That was him, went by the name Sportside or Stepside. His name is Kyle. He was getting to be a damn good tuner and quit on me ! That sure was fun to have the father\son thing going on.
