I'm sure you can go lower with front control arms and/or springs and rear springs,
but I don't want to change springs and compromise my tow rating, so I didn't really look
into it . 3/6 or 3/4 looks pretty good on these trucks though.

According to an engineer that works for Ground Force, 2/4 is the max you should go on a NNBS 4x4. Anything more will adversely effect driveline angles.

I love it.
So far I have Magnaflow 3" cat back, lowering, GMPP Cai, lots of tint, 20" oem wheels [came with 17's] and Michelin, LT285/55/20 AT2"s.
ARH LT headers and cats will be here tomorrow according to UPS and front bumper top and grill go for color match this week.
Gotta get HPT tune from my 07 into 08 when I have time.
I'LL get some pics when the bumper/grill is done and some pics of headers.


08 4x4 lowered sorry, chitty pic
Sick looking trucks mate! I'm a sucker for a NNBS black 4x4.

ahh, I was wondering why nobody listed anything else for a 4x4. I wonder why nobody has designed a 4/4 drop for us guys that like the more extreme staggered stance in the RCSB's, or would that also effect the front driveline angles too much? (I dont see it effecting it too adversly). Does anybody have an idea for making your own 4/4 drop?? (maybe 2" drop front spindles, 2" drop front springs, and a 4" rear drop package?)
