Before telling me to use the search bar, I already did, and I still can't find an answer.

I NEED to drop my truck... It's too high. I finally have the funds to do so and would like to get it done within the next two weeks.

What do I need? Where can I get it? How hard is it to install?

Truck is 2001 Silverado Z71 ECSB. Still have the stock 16" wheels. I'd rather remove the stock lift blocks and use a 2" shackle in the rear, but I can't find the stock u-bolts anywhere...

Thanks

 

I think I just found a kit. Anyone know where I can find stock u-bolts or what the measurements of the bolts are?

 

did you try the dealer? they can also tell you how long they are.

from what I remember the 2wd are 180mm and 4wd are 230mm

 

Yea. I tried the dealer. They were no help to me at all. Guy even told me that the u-bolts were the same in ALL the vehicles that GM made... I turned around and walked out when he said that...

 

Just tell him you have a 01 ecsb 2wd 1500 and need the rear u bolts. He cant really **** it up when hes just looking in the computer.

Mines shackle/hanger, block out and spring clamps, then keys in the front.

 

Same here minus the hangers I'd like to do some hangers and spindles someday.

 

go to the junkyard and try to get some off another truck... on mine i have lower control arms in the front and in the rear i have a flip kit with shakles so its a 4 8 drop

 

Is your truck 4wd?

 

If it helps, here's the p/n I used for the 2wd u-bolts:

15002781

You'll need four (duh). As I recall, I spent just under $40. Once you're down 4" (I only went down a total of 3" - I used 1" shackles) you'll want to at least pull the bump stop brackets, and you may want to either trim or replace the stops themselves. I also replaced the shocks, going with Bilsteins...I can't remember the p/n but they were the standard shocks for 2wd 1500 trucks. I hope this helps - good luck!
