This Heavy Metal suspension kit is designed to provide a 1 inch rear drop for the 1999 - 2007 (Classic Body) Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2WD 4WD) and 2007 - 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2WD 4WD). Our shackles were engineered to provide an accurate and comfortable suspension drop. These shackles were crafted from high strength carbon steel and welded together through computerized processes to ensure accuracy and safety. While ride quality may stiffen under high speeds, the drop should not impact the stock comforts under normal use. Heavy Metal Suspensions products are the safest way to lower your vehicle without compromising ride quality. Once lowered, we do recommend getting an alignment to maintain your ride quality and fix any wondering that may occur. Forged from high-grade carbon steel, our kits are guaranteed never to break under even the toughest conditions. Each kit comes complete with installation instructions and high-grade hardware as well as ASE certified telephone support.
IMPORTANT: If purchasing spacers, their thickness is not equal to lift amount due to compound ratios that changes the suspension's geometry. Your factory shocks can be reused, but we do recommend an alignment after installation
