Default A few ?s about Lowering my Sierra and pic request


Looking to Lower My 03 Sierra, plan to use a Belltech kit with shocks for 2/4 inch drop. I am currently running later model rims and tires Goodyear 275/55/r20.
Any pics of a similar set up or advice would be appreciated.
Thnx

Here is my old 2006 single cab long bed with 275/55/20's on it.

This will be exactly what it looks like. I run Belltech hangers and shackles in the rear with 2" drop springs up front. Belltech street performance drop shocks. Also have a Belltech bolt -in C-Notch because I had very little clearance after the drop.

Same wheels as you. I'm now on a 275-45-20.

You will likely have to roll the fender in the back to keep from rubbing with a load. I did. I just ground a little bit off of it, and it's good to go.

This was it before I put the 275-45-20 on it. This picture is with the OEM 275-55-20 tires that came with the wheels.

Not a single cab but you get the idea. Those are 18” Tahoe Hybrid wheels.

How bad was the ride before the c notch ? wasn't planning on notching it yet. My 94 was dropped 5/7 c notched flipped and still banged once and while on bumps. If its the same as that it wont bother me too much.
Thnx

I was constantly hitting the bumpstops before I notched it. I didn't originally plan on notching yet either, but it definitely needed it. If I had anything at all in the bed, it basically rode on the stops. If you go 2/4, my guess is a notch will come soon after.

Thanks for the compliment on the truck. It's slowly getting closer to how I want it to be.

Here's my 03 step side. I have the 2/4 bell tech shackles and springs. Would like some extra travel in the rear. Debating on what to do.
