Default Post up pics of your lowered truck!!

I'm trying to decide how far to go with lowering my 04 GMC RCSB. I already own a truck on bags, so i know i dont want that. Its a daily driver, so i dont want it to ride like crap. And i dont know that i wanna do a C-notch... Help me decide! And throw out the pros and cons of each. Thanks!

Ridetech coilovers, Belltech front spindles up front, flip kit and QA1's out back.
4/6 drop with 20's. Rides great. Had regular springs and shocks but the upgrades where night and day.

Wow both of those trucks look awesome! Any problems with curbs at that height? If those are 4/6's, then maybe i would be interested in like 2/4? Does anyone make that? Does it require a notch?

2/4 requires no notch.

I have a long bed with a 2/4 drop and with a 35 gallon tank it gets the chevy lean hardcore when full of fuel. Looks like a 2/5 on the LR half the time haha.

With good drop shock it should ride great and you'll have atleast 2-3 on travel before the bump stop if you trim them down. You'll have to trim them regardless, 1 or 2 "rings".

For a daily, can't beat a 2/4 in my book. 4/6 dragged out just looks so bad ***. I couldn't resist.

Your truck looks sick man. Tastefully done. Good job!

Who would you guys recommend going thru to buy the 2/4 kit? Who makes a good kit? Im even thinking of buy adjustable shocks, so i can mess with ride stiffness.
