Leveling kit for a 06 1500
I own a 70 K5 as well as a 2006 1500 4x4.
My problem is the pickup is a company vehicle, I work for a pretty sweet company that will allow me to do whatever I want to my vehicle however when they sell it whatever I put on goes along with it, so no high buck upgrades here just some small tweaks to make my commute a little more enjoyable. I'm looking at getting a leveling kit of some sort to bring the front of the truck up a bit and well to be redundant, level the ride... I will not be fitting 40's or anything crazy like that, might move up to 33's if it is possible to get them in with no rubbing. Who here has experience with or pictures of leveling kits? Thanks for your help, if I get to figuring something out I'll post some before-after shots. Steve |

Re: Leveling kit for a 06 1500
33s will fit with a leveling kit, my truck had 31s when i got it and it was wayyyy low to the ground, 06 1500, wt, reg cab, long box, i put the leveling kit in, and 3 inch body lift and got 35s to clear with no problem, but you really dont need a leveling kit, there should be enough room on your torsion keys to crank it up to level, you could also get a block for the rear axle, pretty cheap. heres a pic of my truck, dressed her up as a 3/4 ton, i love the look of them, but i still get 16 to 18 mpg
thats with the 33s, i just put 35s on

Some guys just crank up the torsion bars to level it out. That way no money spent.
