nothing special, pretty much stock other than the AEM Intake and Dynomax Bullet Muffler. alright, now to the crappy pics i took.























Next up, drop kit. I can't decide wether to go with a 2/4 or the belltech 3/4 drop. Im hoping yall can chime in and tell me from looking at the pics.

nice truck dude, same as what I started out with.
I think a 3/4 drop would do it for ya.
I went 4/6 with mine and Im getting lower profile tires this weekend. It just wasnt low enough for me.
Good luck with it.

Nice blank canvas. I would colormatch all your plastics as that will make a big difference. As far as the drop, you know the 3/4 will still have some rake to it right? If you want it level, I would look into a 3/5 or 4/6. A 5" rear drop can be done with a flip kit (normally for a 6" rear drop) and then put a lifting shackle on it.

eh, i really don't wanna c-notch it right now. thats the thing. does anyone know any shops that'll install my drop kit for a good price in the houston area? Imma need some help on that. I don't mind the rake either, plus it shouldn't be bad at all. it'll sorta give it that muscle truck tone to it. And once the drop settles, wont it get a little lower by like .5 in the front and back? so truely it be like a 3.5/4.5 drop?

I would go with the 3/4 drop if you can't decide between the two. Your truck would also look alot better if you just did a 2" shackle install. Any wheel plans? Is that a 4.8 or 5.3?

gotta love the '06's. Nice and clean, just paint the front bumper plastic body color and go for some 18's or so.

If you don't mind the rake, then definitly do a 3/4. Can't help you with shops, but I am sure someonce local will be able to. The only way the drop will settling any lower will be if you use replacement springs front/rear.

I plan on getting some black 20" american racing rt-s wheels with maybe some 275/45/20 tires... how do yall think that'll look on my truck on a 3/4 drop?
