Default 06 Silverado

Hi, I have an 06 silverado single cab 4x4 with a 4/6 drop. I haven't had any trouble in the front but the rear end rides really hard and I was wondering what I should/can do to help or fix that problem without raising it. I would also like to know if a c-notch would be a good idea and what it does.

That's what I was beginning to look at for my truck. Do you have any recommendations on a certain brand and type? Thanks, I'm from Alaska

Alright cool. The roads here are really bumpy with the ice freezing over it and everything. How much do they normally run?

What is your setup so far on lowering it? Mine is a 2wd with just a 2/4 and it rides really rough. Im gonna c notch the rear and hopefully let it ride better. Thats what i would suggest for you

i bought a 2/4 lowering kit and it lowered it with hangers and shackles. i then brought it to a shop where they tampered with it which lowered it more. in the rear they removed the blocks and im not sure what they did in the front, i think they may have loosened the torsion keys

Which shop did you take it to?

When you lowered the rear, did you relocate the rear axle bump-stops?
