Thanks man, I'm pretty satisfied with the stance myself.

Also got time to swap my mirrors out from the chrome Texas Editions to my all black mirrors off my 2008 2500HD LTZ I had taken off so I could put tow mirrors on it. All I have left for appearance mods is removing the tail gate handle so I can color match it to gloss black and then install a chrome billet pull.

Then I can start in on my performance mods I want.

you're headed in the right direction imo. i was suppose to buy a black CC but they sold it before i could get there. that 305/50 is the same height as your 275/55 just wider right? i didnt even notice the wider tire in the pic.

Yeah the tires are about the same height and diameter, but the 305 is 12.00" wide and the 275 is 10.82" wide.

Same here I want a 10" wide rim in the back instead of the 8.5", but I'm going to roll these stock rims for now so I can spend that money on go-go parts.

excuse me if i missed it but will you please tell me where or how to get a leaf spring compressor?! you did almost exactly what i did minus the spring compressor and i have been trying to figure out how to get that extra inch or two. i did 2/3 and it still looks 2 inches higher in the back.

I will post pics up later tonight or tomorrow of mine done 2/4, just got it back from a front end alignment a little bit ago.
your truck looks great. i have been dissapointed in my 2/3 drop b/c its still not level and have been trying to figure out a way to level it out w/o spending a lot of coin. as hi as these trucks are it doesnt even look lowered.

BTW.. do you mind if I ask how much the alignment was. mine is pulling to the rt after the drop.

Usually u would need to go 2 in lower in the rear compared to the front to get a level look.2/4,3/5,4/6,5/7.
