Add Some Personality To Your Truck With Chevy Leveling Kit

By Shurman Humphrey

There are a variety of levelling kits available. Aftermarket suspension developers offer one for every need. If you're in the market, consider brands like Tuff Country and Trail Master. They work with a variety of vehicles like Tahoe, Suburbans, Avalanches, 1500.

These vehicles often have a nose that sits lower than the rear. Aftermarket suspension levelling kits for Chevy vehicles will raise the nose up to the same height as the reare of the vehicles. They also allow you to run with slightly larger tires which can look very sporty.

Larger tires allow for more aggressive tread patterns which can help with traction. In some cases, larger towers will also allow for a wider offset wheel. Lift kits, although more expensive, can provide similar results. But if you're on a budget, you can get similar results for much less cost using a levelling kit.

How Do They Work?

The car manufacturer Chevrolet has created a coil sprung independent suspension for the SUVs and all-wheel drive trucks. Also available are Chevy levelling kits for these strut or coil systems. The levelling kits work by raising the vehicle. When a vehicle is raised, a spacer is added to the top of the strut assembly. This increases the distance between the lower control arm and the upper spring perch. This distance is what governs the ride height of the vehicle. This levelling feature and approach, although popular with GM vehicles, is also used with non-Chevy vehicles too.
