DJM Lower Control Arms and keys up front,
Lost the blocks in the rear and added lowering shackles and hangers as well as a anti sway bar.

The keys in the front I just ups to fine tune it, the ride quality is sporty not rough or crappy. You hit some bumps and you'll feel it but all in all it's definitely that sports feel.

Here's my 2002 Z71. Handles and rides better than stock. I can still load up my 700# Harley in the bed without fear of bottoming out.
SpringTech 2" lowering spindles
Stock keys
Block removed from rear
2" lowering shackles
KYB Monomax shocks all around

Presently, with 20x8.5" Epics and 275/55/20 Pirelli Scorpion ATR's:



With stock 2007 17"ers and 265/70/17 BFG Long Trails:



With previous set of Cruiser Alloy 20's and 245/65 Yokohamas:

static54 what size tire did you have on those wheels in the pic? I am doing a 2/4 tomorrow on mine...its a 05 z. It currently has a 2 inch lift on the front and Im going to ride on the 2/4 drop until my control arms come in or I can find some used ones! Then I will lower it some more. I will be running 275/22
