I have a 2004 chevy Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L v8 and hauling package, air springs and overload shocks in the rear. It now has a really bad rake to it, and I'm also considering a wider and taller tire. But does anyone have a leveling kit, what brands are best?
 
Before you go and crank up your T Bars. Know that you will be placing the angle of the Ball joints at a very awkward angle and as such, significantly reduce their lifespan. Also, GM Upper control arms use pushed in type of balljoints...not commonly replaced. As such you will need to replace the whole upper control arm unit.
Secondly by cranking up the T-bars, your shocks will bottom out..you will need at the very least shock extenders or longer shocks.

Suggest you look at installing Congito UCA's and add the longer shocks ... Cognito UCA's utilize bolt in replacement balljoints. Money well spent & the ride is awesome.!

and btw, I dont work for these guys nor am a shrill for them...its what I have on my rig and it has worked extremely well...for the past 120,000km.
