lowering question

I have a 07 silverado classic that is stock height and stock wheels. My question is if I put on a rear leveling kit is it going to make the truck ride bad? Also does it hurt the truck in any way?
Thanks for your help

Re: lowering question

I wouldn't imagine any problems with just a leveling kit. The kits have come a long way since they started so there shouldn't be any problems with putting it in either. The lower you go the rougher the ride usually gets. With just a leveling kit, I wouldn't think you would notice much difference.

Re: lowering question

Do you mean shackles? The only problem you might have is the notorious GM lean. Measure your truck now, and I'll bet that is is 3/4-1" lower on one side. Adding shackles will make it more visible.

On my 06 Silverado, I had to drop it 2" on one side and 1" on the other for it to set level.
