I bought the lift keys for the front of my silverado along with new longer shocks. It rides a whole lot better than it did with just the keys but I was wonder what everyone else is doing about the upper A-arm setting on I guess what would be a limiter or some type of bump stop. Suspension cant go down any further without cutting it off, would this be a good idea or not? Any help would be apperciated.

Over cranking of the TB is not a good thing. Can cause huge problems down the road. 1-2 inches is all you want to do. Two of the major problems are too step of angles on the ball joints on your UCA's and CV joints at too high of angles, thats why those droop bump stops are there to prevent those CV's from flexing too far, binding and blowing up.

you adjust the height for the cv axles to be straight...

what your doing as mentioned is destroying the cv joints...

even operating the vehicle with bad shocks causes too much movement that damages these joints...life will be short..


then if somehow you go very high then the axles are too short..

increasing vehicle height must be done properly...it is costly though..
