The overall height of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK25S is 7-1/4" with the included spacer installed or 6-1/4" without the included spacer installed. If the 6-1/4" is too tall for your lowered 2001 Chevrolet Silverado you can use the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-209-40 for 1500 or part # SSR-211-54 for 2500/3500 models. If you take a bread knife, you can trim these down to fit the space you need them to.
