I was considering bilstiens too, a friend of mine has them and his truck rides great!!! However his is an extended cab... I wonder if I could use bilsteins on the back with shock extenders?

 

I personally would rather have drop spindles in the front.....

 

i have eibach 2 inch front drop springs, belltech 3 inch rear shackle/hanger kit with caltracs and overload spring removed and eldelbrock IAS shocks in all 4 corners. the truck rides really good....and handles well too.

 

My Dad lowered his avalanche and the kit came with shock extenders. I forget what he told me he did different, but he pulled the extenders off after running with them for about a month and it transformed the ride. It went from a stiff lowered feeling back to stock just by removing the extenders. I don't know what the results would be to run extenders on our trucks.

 

If your going to buy bilstiens get shorter ones and you dont need extenders

Thats similar to my kit but mine was for an extended cab and mine is a 3/4
It rides like my camaro did, but handles better. my camaro was always a little stiff, i dont mind it
