leveling the front of 00 hoe #780088 01/15/07 02:32 AM

I have a stock 00 tahoe 4x4. I want to lift the front to level the truck out. What is the best way to do this with out doing future damage to steering or suspention. I've heard of coil spacers or a torsion key. what are the cons/pros. Is their any other options?

Crank the torsion bars and go get it aligned. Tell them to ignore the ride height.

won't this put strain on the cv and tires. Even with realignment. Will this effect off road use. 60%on & 40%off road (light to slighty modified trails)
Want to keep a smooth ride as posible for the long road trips.

Yeah, it'll strain them a little, but not as much as other things. Besides, it's not like you're telling it to travel outside of it's designed range.

The ride will still be a little more harsh than stock. If you don't like it, buy a real lift and get softride springs.

As far as off-road, no. It shouldn't make any difference.
