re: Silverado Level Kit Opinion

The alignment will fix your tires after you put the kit on.

The premature wear we’re talking about is in your front end components(ball joints, tie rod ends, axles). As soon as you lift the front end of vehicles with independent suspension it changes the geometry of everything and those joints are in more of a bind than they were designed to be. The more of a bind they are in, the quicker they will wear. That’s why I’m suggesting you don’t get a 3” kit, just get the smallest spacer you think will get rid of your drag look. Or buy a kit that has control arms with corrected geometry.

Obviously tons of trucks are driving around with leveling kits and they are fine. I think people are just warning you that it’s harder on your front end components. And if those start to go before you notice, it’ll cause some crazy tire wear. If you understand the problems it might cause, you’ll have less heartburn later.

My truck is leveled. I’m not saying don’t do it.
