Default Finally dropped my 2008 Sierra Ext Cab

After lots of research and comparisons I finally picked the wheels and how low I wanted to go. Here is a pic of my 2008 All Terrain before the drop. The wheels are 22" Replicas and the drop is 4/5. Headlights are halos from Spyder. Still have a little vibration at certain speeds and need to dial in the pinion angle.

Looks sharp bud. Not a fan of the headlights or taillights, but thats just my opinion. Truck feels way sportier now dont it?

Yea the truck handles much better with the Belltech performance struts and shocks. I was going for a 4/6 drop but I like this stance. And not even 90 days later one of the LED taillights fail. Was planning to tint the taillights some more but will prob swap them out entirely.

Looks good man no doubt, but something about it being an All Terrain and a z71 has me thrown off. IDK why lol. I really like fast dropped 4x4s.

In Alaska no less Yea the master plan is to drop in supercharger. Really liked that build that New Era Performance did using a Whipple. Another dollar for another day.

Truck looks clean it's simple and looks good. The lights aren't my cup of tea but thats my op if you like it then rock it.

Debadge it. It will clean it up a lot more
