2wd lift kit?
I know I know, lifting a 2 wheel drive. Trucks an 05 chevy silverado 1500 2wd ECSB. Main reason for wanting to lift is clearance. Truck sees a few pastures but at stock height I often scrape it just pulling in to driveways. Truck never tows but is daily driver. Could i put a 2 inch coil spacer in the front and 1 inch rear block without sacrificing drivability? If so what is a good brand to go with?

Re: 2wd lift kit?
The coil spacer in the front will make the ride a little more harsh.
A spindle lift in the front would ride like factory. |

Re: 2wd lift kit?
Here's my 06 with a spindle lift and 2 inch blocks. I kept it like that for a month, then took it all off and put a drop shackle on the rear end. You might check, I think some ECSB trucks have torsion bars, which means you can adjust the height pretty easily by tightening the bolts, or getting different keys.

Re: 2wd lift kit?
How hard is it to do spindles in a driveway? Any special tools?

The best way for you to achieve a mild lift and gain more clearance while maintaining a decent ride would be to, run spindles (Fabtech / CST) + a decent shock like Bilstein. I personally would leave the rear alone but either a block or add-a-leaf would be ideal, again pair either option with a decent mono-tube shock. Spacers may be cheaper and they will successfully provide the lift you are looking for but unfortunately the ride is sacrificed. |
