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.
Those big hoops and rubber bands for tires aren’t going to help it ride any better either. Those tires are “stiff” and will transmit a lot of road feedback

I agree, however the ride was like this when it had the hideous 17s and farm truck tires.
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
Mine felt wobbly and a little loose when I got it. I searched and found several saying the end links go bad often and that's all it was. I did those and some poly sway bar bushings. Less than $50 and I'm out cornering BMWs.
