i was getting rdy to do the exact same thing to mine a couple of months ago.. but i didnt feel like going thru the hassle of ditching the body lift..
i like the ride height, but it definitely needs a smaller tire/bigger wheel

I think "Urban Cowboy" comes to mind. Makes it look tough! I seen a jeep wrangler here on the island with 24's and low profile tires. That looked dumb.

As for wheels and tires, it's just some stuff I had laying around the house, nothing special at all. Just less dumb.
no ****? im at 32.5 in the front, but i guess my tires measure to almost 33" on the truck lol..looks good man...makes you think twice when you look at it..i go through wisconsin winters lowered in the tahoe and make it through just as much **** as any other truck plus more since i know when to push it and when not to..

Thanks. Before I'm done it won't look completely ridiculous.

Wow. Well I know I'm not the worst decision maker on the planet.

Are those numbers right? You don't look like you're tucking tire.

What's your setup?

Think it looks pretty cool, will look much better with a more street tire setup obviously.

What I really dig is the green/black(linex) color combo.

I lowered mine by doing purple keys and 3" LCAs in front and removal of blocks in rear as well as shackles and hangers.

basically a 3/4 drop from 2wd height, 5/6 drop from Z height.

My fender measurements are 30.5 in front and 31" in rear. 28" tall tires.

Do you plan on going lower?

looks good to me. just putting the center caps back on would make it look 10x better, just to eliminate the "unfinished" look

I have always wanted to lower a truck on some mud tires. I think you should go more and leave the tires. At least to see how it looks.
