yup tires are kinda beat, I worked it down on the price but they offered to throw new ones on, i told them not to. i plan on getting some black 17" rims with a size up or 2 on tires.

a friend told me a leveling kit and torsion bar crack up are the exact same thing. do the torsion keys in a leveling kit put the same stress on the torsion bars??? i need to do some research

[wannabejeep]

we've just cranked the bars on my friends trucks, but it is not easy to do.

Here's a pretty good tech page on the subject. People constantly ask about it on the GM forum.

thanks for the link!

you can put different keys in to change the torsion bars a little adding to height, but the ride will suffer a little.

btw, order up some esclade door handles so they match the rest of the truck , there not that expensive or hard to switch out .

I have some 18's sitting on some shiny black and chrome rims. Not sure what the bolt pattern is on that silverado though.
