Default pics added !! finished 2-4 drop on z71

Well , I got the 2-4 drop done on the truck tonight. I'll get pics up in the morning. Its almost like a 3-4 drop since the front has some rake. Did 3/4 ton keys in front and removed the rear block and did 2" hangers. Also installed Ground Force Nitro drop shocks. It rides pretty damn stiff, probably because the front is maxed and i havent cut the bump stops in the back yet. The part numbers on the shocks were 70042 and 70043, They came out of a kit for a 2-2 drop on a SS. Sorry for no pics yet i'll get em up ASAP

cut your bump stops in the front too. that will soften the ride.

Hmm, only one pic?
I replaced the rear stops with little belltech button stops and sawzalled the front stops in half to get some articulation back. We basically have the same drop although I did spindles, shackles and hangars and not block delete.
Make sure you get an alignment.

More pics are up. I only added in one at a time since im not sure how to add more all at once. We did align it as much as it would go. I Cut the front bump stop but not the rear yet. The truck corner way better now and much more solid on the road at high speeds! I love it!

You can probably find the button stops at summit. Looks great, love the rake too.
