Anyone think about the bump stops on the front? I didnt see if anyone asked if the control arms were factory. If so, its sitting on the bump stop, pull it and get an aftermarket or cut yours down

looking at those other pics, the passenger side is level but the rear driver is lower. that is extremely common in these trucks, its called chevy lean, because the gas tank and battery are on that side.

I will soon buy the final tires & rims , look how it looks already without thinking of the adjustement , if it look potentialy satisfiable I will choose this solution , but I strongly think I will like to go lower than that because I think it won't look low enough ..

The coil springs have a tendency to drop more after they have been installed for a few weeks.

Yeah good point, I had to trim mine a good bit because I was too cheap to get the correct replacement bump stops. That could be holding the front end up for sure.

Thanks for all your replies guys ,
I drove close to 6or 700 hundred miles with it , so no luck about the coils settling up or so , i will check at my local garage for the bumpstop thing to see what we can make , if not I will just ordered a pair of 3"in lowered coils for the front so it will be settled , I really appreciate your answers and will let you know about once work is done with it , Peace
