This is normal, so that it won't sag grossly when loaded up. You can buy leveling kits. I'm sure someone on this board can recommend a good one. Personally, I like the leaning look, I think it makes it look aggressive! Of course, I assume you have a 4WD. The 2WD 1500 sits level, or at least much closer to it than the 4x4.

yea...i have a 2wd and it leans forward a bit. actually, i have a 2000 and my dad has a 2002 and his sits level. I donno wht. Would it have anything to wo with a reg cab and a ect. cab?
I thought a 4wd wouldent do it as much becaus they sit a bit higher that a 2wd.

R u guys talking about the raked look? or Level when looking dead on from the back or front?
All the Silverado's do it. They all are a little lower in the front then in the back.
The problem I have with mine is that it sits down on the driver side just a touch when you look at it from behind. I think I may have a tired spring on the Driver side of my truck but, I'm not sure at this point.

a 2" lowering kit on the rear will level out a 2wd perfectly. East to do and inexpensive.

Okay, here's what you need. If you want to level the back of the truck, all you need is a 2" lowering shackle(obviously you need 2, one for each side). Real cheap, you can find em for $40 or cheaper, look on ebay. If you want to raise the front, you can get a set of 2 inch lift springs. Should be had for around $70-$100. Prices on both could be way off. It's been a long while since I've priced anything.

On my 1984 C20 is put big block springs in front. And with a 350 cid inr there the heavier duty springs made it sit high in front .

For lift springs I'm not very educated on good/bad brands. As for lowering shackles I would go with DJM.
