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!

Here's some pics of how it sits stock for reference.

 

I can't really answer the first question, but:
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!

 

Nice looking truck. It looks like it's already been lowered though.

 

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.

 

my suspension was no different than any other silverado, i have a 3/6 drop with 275/45s on the gibb 20s, djm

 

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.

 

Gawd thats a goergous clean truck. a 3/5 would be perfect IMO.


TIMDAVE, i love the stance on your truck, what are the specs/ methods you used to lower it?

 

the truck sits pretty level to me, no rake at all from the pics... what does it measure at all four corners? what size tire?

 

Ground to fender lip
RF- 34"
RR- 35"
LF- 33 1/2"
LR- 34"

Correction: tires are 275-55-20

Will the tires work and? Now its going to bother the heck out of me knowing it's different at all 4 corners. Gotta drop it asap lol
