Do you have the block in the rear still? I pulled mine out of my z71 and backed the torsion bars out a little bit. I couldn't recommend going much lower because I like to hit huge bumps going fast with lots of weight in the bed

Loose the running boards and mudflaps. Do you really need the mudflaps in AZ? Keep it the stock height for those wheels IMO.

I'm 29 and people think i'm 35+.

Ok, here's the deal, your right, we're all going to say lower, denurf, derail, debadge and deflap....the trend is low, simple and clean AND FAST. Not only will it look clean but the lost weight, drag and improved handling may make you happy.

Just doit

fixed. but i think he's got that part down.

i think you should get rid of the running boards and mudflaps. and take out the rear blocks and crank the torsion bars to level it out. also i liked the wheels you had before those better. the stock 5-spoke chrome steelies

I think it looks perfect with the running boards, 4x4 sticker, and mud flaps removed. oh, and the bed rails too.

The rear blocks are long gone and already took 5 turns out of the t-bars. I like the idea of the roll pan, but I NEED to be able to tow and If I went to a hidden hitch I think you have to lose the spare for that and I don't want to do that.

Can't go back to the stock 5 spokes, I just bought new tires for these rimes and there 17's. The 16's looked too small with those tires on them any way. I like these tires and wheels.

Some how I knew what everyone was going to say, Guess I been around here long enough, I should know...
