I am running a 2/3 drop on mine with 285/55/20's no problem. If you are using the McGaughys drop dont set the hangers on the lowest setting or you will be squatting in the rear. With them on the lower hole on the hanger and bottom hole on the shackle you will be level. If you want a slight rake then use the top hole on the shackle.

There's no way I could run 275/55's on my 2/4.

275/45's on a McGaughy's 2/4. I'd rub if the tires were any taller.

The VHO's sit differently than a regular Silverado. If you go with a 4" drop in the rear It will sit lower in the back than in the front. I ran into that when I first lowered mine and put the hangers on the top hole. You may be able to crank the torison bars to get it level, but your ride will suffer.

Its looking more of a 2/3 drop, did you have to add shines and a carrier bearing and hows this ride

I have the 4" leaf packs order will try to cancel
