2000 Silverado factory ride height/rake
I was able to find a low mile 2000 Silverado rcsb 2wd. I’m curious what the difference is on a stock truck from front to rear. I think the truck has some sort of leveling kit on the front but I don’t see anything to confirm it other than it rides like crap compared to other trucks like it I have driven.
Was wondering if anyone could tell me so I can measure mine to compare.
Im wanting to lower the rear to level it out, possibly a 2/4 later on.
New wheels and tires
What it was like when I bought it

Mine was 2 inches higher in the rear. Going off those pics, yours looks like its stock height front and back with those wheel to fender gaps. There are coil spacers for the front to raise it, kind of looks like an inch thick saucer or a donut that the spring would sit on top of. The rear would most likely be shackle or hanger kit. That you can see by how the rear of the leaf spring is connected. Just go park on a flat surface, take a tape measure from the center of the wheel well, down through the middle of the wheel, (on all four wheels), and you will see your front and back difference and if you have the "chevy lean". Get your numbers with a full tank, half tank, and near empty. If you tow a lot hook it up and check, or if you have a bed load most of the time then try to duplicate it. If you want to go nuts with it, and have a passenger most of the time, get two more people so one can take your place too, but that's REALLY going overboard, and anyone who knows what you're doing will probably laugh at you. I swear mine was 32" front, 34" rear, and 1/2" more on whatever side it is. I put a 2" shackle drop on it and loved it. Theres plenty of threads about this

Alright I put a 2” shackle on it and it leveled out so I’m guessing there is nothing done with the front like I had originally thought.
I’ll be attacking the front end later next month and hopefully that and some new shocks will resolve the crappy ride.
thanks everyone for the input
