My son dicided to put over sized tires on the front of his silverado. And of course that was the beginning of the next manipulation of money. Now he says he needs the front end leveled. But of course! We got a leveling kit from JEGS high performance which consists of two rubber spacers for either side. The bottom does not seem to be much of a probablem but it seems alittle more involved with putting the spacer on the top of the coil spring. Is it very involved? Thanx

My advice to you is remove the oversized tires, but the suspension back stock, and enjoy your truck, the engineers at General Motors have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars designing the suspension on that truck with the right size tires, when you start to add spaces to the suspension and put oversized tires, you're altering the laws of gravity that the engineers at General Motors designed the truck to be stable, furthermore oversize tires on a truck that was not designed to handle will wear out your tie rod ends ball joints ect.for example my army truck was designed from the factory with 68 inch tall tires and the suspension is made to handle that size tire.
