lift, or spacer, or what im lost?!

whats the cheapest and most effective way to have my 04 level, since it slants higher at the back. i want it to sit maybe a bit higher like the 2500's. mine is a 2wd, and i am running 265/16's bfg mud terrains.

You might want to take one of the leaf springs off, but itīs not going to load the same amount of cargo.

They do offer a 1-1/4" coil spring spacer that will work just fine. I bought mine through 4 wheel parts.
This leveled our Tahoe right up.

will these spacers require aftermarket shocks? my truck came stock with the "heavy duty shocks" as it said on the invoice.

They should work but you will decrease your travel unless you change them. I used the same shocks on ou Tahoe but it is just a steet vehicle so it really does not need much travel.

Yep I did, You will need a coil spring compressor to do it. Other than that it is not a hard job. You will need to get it aligned after you done.

Drop the rear two inches..no need for realignment or for different shocks or spring compressors. Cheapest easiest way to go and your truck will be level.
