Stats : 2021 Silverado High Country, totally factory.
Goal : Level it raising the front, maintain ride quality
I don’t want to use the “ cups “ at the top of the struts - you guys helped do this on my 16, but I can’t remember mfg / part number on the replacement shock that will bring the front up ( I took the struts off, replaced the shocks, back together w/ alignment ) sorry, hell getting old !!!! HELP - I know somebody can put me straight on this project

Run the Fox 2.0 Coilovers with 2.0 rear shocks. Worth the money over the Bilsteins. Also worth the money is ditching the shitty factory UCA's.

Are you sure you won't change your mind?

 

[Mcob25rg]

Looks like i probably need to get UCA's also

If you just want to level it.
Cheapest/easiest route is the U Shaped brackets (29.99 - $49.99 on amazon) that mount under the bottom of the shock, in between the shock and the lower A- arm... That what I did.
For better towing I added the Fox 2.0 in the rear. I posted some on this on another thread.

The under strut blocks with factory struts ride terrible. Bilstein 5100's with perch set to stock height combined with the blocks is a good way to go to level. Cheap good overall setup compared to coilovers.

Come on over, and I will let you drive it. As far as I am concerned, My truck rides better than 95% of the cars on the road.
Can you get a better ride for alot more $$$ absolutely. But there is a huge difference between want and a need.

My truck rides perfectly fine for me. If I needed at 3" lift because I moved back to Texas, and I lived on Ranch... yes, then I might need a 3" lift and better suspension.
For now. My truck puts a smile on my face every time I get in it. I have never had a complaint about the ride quality. In fact, most people cant believe its 4x4 because it rides so smooth.

As I mentioned come on over, take it for a spin, a might even pour you glass of bourbon.

These 1/4 blocks under the shock do not change the factory ride at all.

Ride is definitely subjective. Like exhaust. To me the ride on any GM struts with the spacer isn't that great. I have Halo Lifts coilovers on ours. All Eibach components. The ride is amazing compared to when I had the factory Rancho's and strut spacer.

If you are happy that is all that matters. I'm just letting OP know his options. As you said the strut spacer is the cheapest way to level.

kings and mazzulla only way to go for any GM product.

@Runs2rch what it’s rdp and it’s not my money? Haha well Chris got money from me for the 1500 not the 2500.
Mazzulla is the king when it comes to these things.
