How did you get 2" up front, decranking the bars? I went with lowering keys and hangers, shakles, and removed the lift blocks, that got the fender to tire gap down to 2". That's with 275/55/20's
For the back I used 2" shackles and removed the lift blocks, I also cut one nub off the bump stops. For the front I cut one nub off the bump stops and decranked the bars. Any pictures of how your truck looks, because I know I still need to lower it a bit more and was thinking of the hangers and spindles.
My tires are 285/50/20's

If you do go lower, go with spindles if you can, keep the stock ride quality and you won't get the bumpsteer that I have.

If you go and get hangers for the rear, you'll need shocks too, the Z71 shocks will bottom out long before the axle hits the bump stops.

I'm not a huge fan of the SS wheels cause there's no lip, but at least you got the chrome and not the silver painted ones!
