If you are a 1/2 ton GMT-900 NNBS they do not have torsion bars.

What year is your truck? I assumed that it's a 2007 or newer, because you posted in the GMT900 section, and the part number you listed in the OP is for GMT900.

Not 100% sure if it's nnbs, I'm sure it's the same for the most part. Yes you can achieve 4" without aftermarket leafs. Or just do a flip kit with some lift hangers, then if you wanna go lower just re adjust and you're good to go.

Yeah Me too, Due to the larger looking fender well. These trucks look great lowerd but a 2-4 is hardly noticeable i think as compared to the 99-07 trucks.

It takes someone who know's trucks to spot a 2-4 you cant tell it's even been dropped when done.

3-5 anyone knows it's dropped

4-6 no question about it.

You could add the lowering struts in the front to get an extra inch and could get 1" shackles for the rear.
