I was thinking of going with a mild 2/3 drop on my 04 extended cab and was looking for input from anybody out there running the same setup. I think I'm going to go with the dropped coils up front and hanger / shakle setup in the rear. I will install dropped shocks when I lower it as well. I will eventually add a set of 20" wheels. My concern is whether or not I will have any suspension travel issues (bottoming out). I would prefer to avoid c-notching the frame if possible. If anybody has some pictures of this setup, I would be interested in those as well.

 

I am running about 5" of drop in the rear and seldom bottom out. you have to get good shocks. I run Doetsch Tech shocks in the rear and soon to be the front as well... I love 'em.

I must recommend going doen at least 4" in the rear. the 2/3 will not sit level. (if thats what you are going for) and in most cases the 2/4 really doesnt either but, its a lot closer.

 

im running a 3" 4" belltech on mine with the coils up fron and shackels and hangers out back with nitro drop shocks. with the 20s on it I rarely ever bottom out (it will hit the bumb stops every once in while on a busted *** road). But i don't like the coils up front. they are too stiff and it makes the ride rough as hell; if you run spindels it will be smoother. hope this helps ive got pictcures of it at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/679061

 

Have You Looked At The Djm 2" Lower Control Arms? I Have The 4" Lca's With No Problems, And Rides Like Stock.

 

2/3 wouldnt be noticeable enough IMO. 3/4 is a very mild drop IMO. sometimes my truck dosent even look lowered to me anymore until i park it next to a factory silverado.

 

go with a 3/4 it looks good, but a 4/5 looks better imo. and i tink they have a 5/7 which is sweet if you get good shocks.

 

Well I'm going with a 2/3 kit for my VHO. It is noticeable.
TXsilverado.........I can tell right a way that your truck is dropped.
No need to put it next to another one.
You guys with drops have just got use to it already, that's all.

mine is at 4/5 still not low enough

 

I wouldn't want your truck any lower. I don't think it would look as good lower than how it is currently.
Leave the hidth where it is and keep adding those go fast mods! I think I would love to see how your truck runs with a 100-125 shot. You need to come out to the track next time, with some NOS and blow off ap2002's doors!
I would love to see that happen!

i would love to see it too, but its not likely. he is running the same times as me N/A with more weight im still camless, with smaller gears and stall. after i get a few bills taken care of this summer im considering restalling and a cam/nitrous setup.
