More Lift???

tyhuck · April 25, 2013

I bought an 07 Z71 Monday, and the first thing I noticed was that it needed a little twist on the bars, so I gave it about 2", but it still looks like the front is diving. So, I was wondering if you suspension gurus can tell me if the angles look good enough to give it another inch in the front. I think an inch will make it just right.

Here is what the passenger side looks like now. The driver side looks the same.

Whatcha think? Can she go up another inch?

Definitely less angle than a GMT 900 with a 2" level. My last truck was an '07 classic and I had mine up a bit more than that with no issues. I'd say go for it but the more conservative folks may say no. Keep everything greased up, keep an eye on your cv boots, and keep an ear out for any binding noises in 4x4.

I'd say another half inch

Well, I went ahead and cranked them up another 4 turns, which should have been about another inch. OMG!!! I took it on a 500 mile trip and it rode like a buckboard wagon. I had no idea how stiff that extra inch could have made the ride. I dropped it about 3 turns once i got home. We will see if thats soft enough for me. If not, I may have to go another turn down.
