Im a suspension newbie and i have a few questions for you guys.. I'm debating on going 2/4 or 3/5.. Its my daily and i don't want to sacrifice much if any drivability.
1. Does anyone know what suspension set up comes stock on a 2004 ECSB Joe Gibbs?
2. Would a 3/5 drop be too low given that it is already lowered? Maybe a stupid question, but would I have to remove the drop that's on it in order to drop it more?
3. Will 275-45-20 tires work on a 3/5 drop?
4. What kit would you guys reccomend?
Thanks for any help!

2. Personally I don't think 3/5 would be to low, unless you are going 3/5 lower than what you already have. Also, not sure on your current setup, but you shouldn't have to remove your drop.
3. yes
4. Most people on here will go with either McGaughtys or DJM, personally I have always used DJM.
Hope this helps!

a 3/5'' on that would be perfect IMO and if the tires should fit under it as well. i have 275/40/20's on mine with a 4/6" and have a bit to spare so you'd be fine with a 3/5''
as for kits i'd recommend i'd go with djm or belltech. i have a djm and it literally felt like my truck was still stock height (ride quality) when i lowered it and had the stock tires still under it.

Hmm maybe its not lowered then.. I was told that they come with a 1/3 or 2/4 from JG...Does mine look any different than any other Joe Gibbs ECSB? Or does it look like it's at stock silverado height. I've never seen another one.
