Default 2/4 drop on a gmc sierra

I have a 2000 gmc sierra 5.3l and i was interested in putting a 2/4 drop on my truck and wanted to know how much that would run me. Anyone have a drop on their truck and if so how much did it cost you?

The cost is up to you man. You can do it for next to nothing, or you can buy top quality brand new parts and spend a fortune.

2/4 is a good stance for starters but you'll always have the itch to go lower I started with 2 shackles then did springs n hangers 2/4 and let me tell you how fun gridin pop rivits off for hangers are and now I pulled all that off put the stocks hangers back on and ridin 4' control arms n 6' flip kit on rear and still want to go lower. But if you set on 2/4 do control arms and shackles n hangers it has the best ride IMO with some belltech streets shocks

IMO a 4-6 is good for a truck that you do nothing with but if you tow anything with it I think it is too low. I have have trucks lowered anywhere from 0-2, 2-3, 3-5, 4-6, 6-8, and bagged. The truck I have now will be either lowered 2-3 or stay the way it is at 0-2. Mainly because I want to use it as a truck and haul stuff with it and tow. When I have my 4-6 truck I had some Gabriel Air Jackers on it and towed some but nothing over long distances just across town. If you are going to lower it 2-4 I would suggest to get a set of spindles, shackles and maybe some hangers or remove the overload leafs. I like my trucks to keep a little rake so IMO spindles, some hangers, and removing the overload will be perfect before you go to the expense of hangers and having them installed.
