Many of you know my truck but for those that don't its a 2004 GMC sierra ext cab 4x4 . I recently took my lift keys out and replaced them with the stock ones. I have them decranked a little bit. Anyhow I'm trying to get the rear to match so far all I've done with it is removed the blocks from the rear. From what I can tell it needs to go about 2" lower to ride level. I was going to get these

And also some shorter u-bolts. Is there anything else I need? Thanks for the help

bump..?

Yes, those would drop the rear down the 2" you want.

Ok cool thanks man. Should i replace the rear springs as well or will the stockers be ok? If so what do you guys reccomend to run?

 

[DeanH1290]

Did you mean shocks? You don't need new leaf springs.

 

[darnie1987]

yea what i ment my bad, what shocks would you run? i been looking at some Bilstein Shocks. But even with those im not sure what ones to get of even if others are better?

I'd look at belltech since you are lowering.

With your HP, I'd get a set of Cal tracs or some other sort of traction bar.

Longer shackles will also add a little more leaf movement. Not good for planting power

Do you still have the factory lift block in there?

Id like to get cal tracs soon as well, and all i did was put the stock keys back in, and took that rear block out. Other than that i havent touched anything im planning on buying what i need soon tho just not sure on what all i want. I dont wanto buy a whole kit and pull all the suspention apart , plus i dont wanto go that low. Basically trying to get my angles up frount as level as i can on the stock keys so it wont be as bad on the front end with 4x4 launches.
