Hello , I have a 1999 Chevy Ext. that I want to make look like a Z71. My fist question is how do I lift the front to level it out for now? Then when I am ready to give it the Z71 stance what do I need to do ? like lifting, tire size, etc? Thanks....

what you need if you have a new body style silverado is a 3" spindle for the front and a 2" block for the rear. that will put your 2wd sitting like a leveled Z71. As far as tires you need some 265/75/16 which is like a 31.5" tire.

What do you mean by new body style? I am totally new to trucks . I think I was told by a friend that mine is the older body style .I am not sure but I put a pic of it in the introduction if that helps.

3" spindles and a 1" or 2" AAL or block will have it sitting about like a mildly cranked 4x4.

Does it look like a 99-06 or like an 88-98? You could get both body styles in 99.

For your truck you're only about 2 inches below a leveled Z71, least my 96 was, but 3 inch body lift and 33s put me about .5-1 inch higher than similar Z71 that had just been leveled. What size tires are you running in that pic? They look TINY.

Front looks lifted already. Usually 2wd GMT400 ECSB have a 4" rake... :think:

well that would explain why the tires look so small, but rough country's 4 inch spindle kit and 33s will put you even or higher than a Z71.
