I got a 09 Silverado 1500 crew cab 2wd. I want to put a 8-inch Bullet Proof suspension lift on it, but I want to have the shock towers in the front. Does the kit include it? Also, will I have to re-gear the differentals to handle 35 inch tires? And what can I do in the rear to eliminate the leaf springs?

1. Call the suspension company and ask if the kit includes the shock towers.

2. Yes, you will have to regear. 4.56 will probably work well for you.

3. Only 35's? Seems a little small for an 8" lift. I have 35's on my F150 with only a 2" leveling shock. I'd do at least 37's if it were me.

4. I believe ProComp has a link/coilover kit for your truck. Actually, no, I think its  only for the HD's. Either way, look to ProComp and Fabtech.
