Hey guys,
I have a 2014 Silverado RCSB 2wd with what I think is a McGaughy flip kit. I have adjusted the shackle hangars as much as possible and installed 1inch lowering shackles, but would still like to lower the rear end another inch.

Has anyone used a block in conjunction with a flip kit to lower the rear of these trucks? If so, what brand or block kit did you use? Thanks a ton!

I don't see why not. I did not want dead level in mine so I used a 1/2 spacer i had made just to have a tiny bit of rake. Really i think mine is about 5.5 in the rear. at the time i just didn't want to go 3/6, but i'm practically there at this point.

I don't see why not either. I'm not even sure how much drop its got on it. Just trying to see if anyone knows if a particular block works or not. Thanks BCraven.

How much is it currently lowered? stock shackles and hangers with flip kit is good for about 8".

Currently its got 1inch lowering shackles, flip kit, and the adjustable rear shackle/hanger mounts (think they're called lift brackets) bolted to the frame in the lowest ride height setting with the shackles bolted in the highest ride height position.

Truck came with the 'lift brackets' and not the stock shackle/hanger/lift brackets.

So, I'm not really sure how much its lowered in the rear...

I would try to find some stock hangers, but if you wanted to try a 1" block, check your u-bolts to see if they are long enough.

I like the way it sits now. what does the front have done to it?

Yea, I'd need new U bolts. From what I can tell all that is done on the front is the shocks are mounted underneath the a-arm. Might see if I can find a set of stock hangers...but the ease of the block is tempting...

Your truck really doesn't look low enough to have a flip kit on it, especially plus another inch. Most people have to remember a c notch with just flip kit. Leafs go under the axle not over it?

It doesn't look low, but its a flip kit, no c-notch.

And this is whats going on up front, looks to just have the shocks mounted underneath the A-Arm.

This picture is the adjustable hanger set up with stock shackles.

I have since moved the hanger to the lowest ride height position, and installed 1inch drop shackles on the highest ride height position on the hanger (because they would bind if installed in the lowest ride height position where they mounted to the shackle). This gained me another 3/4inch of rear drop and is how it currently sits.


Its close but I would still like to level the *** end with the front (need another inch). So I picked up a set of stock hangers so we'll see what that looks like. Trial and error til I figure it out I suppose.
