Default A few pics of my new set up. Silverado Crew Cab

Suspension is stock up front and has drop shackles in the rear set at 2". Rolling on a set of Silverado 20s with 275/55s. I love the new set up! Previous set up was a cst 7" on 305/55s

Facts I already know:
The front bumper is "off" and I need a new one
The rear bumper will be painted to match the front
The pass rear rim is messed up

Now for some pics:






Any suggestions on what I should do next is welcome!

Truck is clean

Maybe some more drop will make it look better.

Thanks! I really like the set up!

For now 0/-2 is as low as I want to go. I love the 2/4 drop on other crew cabs but for a daily it seem a little too low imo.

Possible appearance mods would be:
esky handles paint matched
remove the bed rail caps, fill the 50 holes and paint match.
darker tint
fix the rear wheel
finish the bumpers

was tossing around the idea of hd hood and grill, but I think im going to pass on that, save the money for a cam/stall

I was thinking of dropping my rear 2" also - which shackles did you use? Did you pick up any vibrations or anything? been told doing only shackles could cause vibration because the pinion angle is off...

Thanks man!!

After the suspension has had some time to settle it actually dropped lower than stock by 1"

So its -1" in the front and -2" in the rear.

The difference in the front is im using ext cab springs instead of crew cab springs. I guess they are rated differently?

Either way its awesome!

Bedrail caps should definitely go away. jaja

It only seems to effect extended cab folks. Crew and single cabs don't have this problem. I can tell you from experience: there IS an annoying vibration whenever you do this with extended cabs.
