Default 2014 Silverado rcsb 4/7 drop, coilovers, cal trac bars. More to come

Update with part numbers. I get messages for them so here they are. Remember this is for a rcsb. The spring weight and all was for my exact setup so keep that in mind.

Looks good. What kit, what size tires?

I just did the mcgaughys 4/7 adjustable kit, did what was said to do for 3/6 and the rear is about 2" higher than front. I think I'm gonna go back and out the blocks in and get a little more than 1" more down in the back. A little rake is good, but I have a little too much for me...

I like the stance alot, those wheels make it look great.

But I will say, god damn is the rear stupid high in the stock form.

He prolly picked up the handles and mirror covers already painted, lots on eBay and such. I plan to do the same, plus take care of the bumper piece as well. It does make a huge difference to me.

Thanks guys for all the complements. I will be doing adjustable shocks and coilovers before too long to make it ride better. Also cal-trac bars just too tighten up the rear end for future mods

I have the same kit. I dont like it though. It rides too rough for me.
