I have a 2005 silverado with a 6 inch fabtech lift and it used the torsion bars. i would like to go to a long travel suspension but i dont think i can without getting a whole new front end basically. upper and lower control arms, steering knuckles. the whole bit. is there any way i could turn my lift into a long travel kit or no it is not possible.
nope! correct. in a nut shell, torsion bars, a-frames, and IFS systems will never allow for long travel suspension. need to convert to SAS and coil overs for that. not familiar with you truck to advise you on that. how easy it is to do that depends on if chevy made an SAS system on this platform or not. either domestically or for export. that could mean the diff between loosing you truck for one w/SAS or modding to the existing structure. depends on how good of a fabricator you are. owner 93 toy pu 4x4 3lift IFS, 88 toy pu 6lift SAS, 56 willys pu 4x4 oem.
