Default NNBS lowering kit?

I am not sure of how much to lower my new 08 silverado rcsb... What is the lowest you can get it pracitically and affordably? I would like something that makes a nice difference, but that I do not need to worry about the front bumper that much. Please suggest some kits and post up your pics.

Thanks
John Bottone

A popular one is from Ground Force. A lot of people are very please with their set-up and ride quality. They do a 3-5 drop which I think is a great stance without having to notch your frame.

DJM also makes a nice kit as well.

ground force makes a 2/4 drop, two different kits. One kit has 2" drop spindles, the other has 2" drop coils. But both kits come with 4" rear leaf drop springs for the back. Even the 4/7 kits look really good on the nnbs

I am refering to kit number 9860. Which is a 3/5 drop.

I sell this set-up most but you need helper bags if you plan on hualing or towing

what is your ground clearance with the 5/7 drop? I do not plan on doing anything where I need a lot of ground clearance, I just wanna make sure that I am good on the speed bumps and crappy roads. Also how is the ride quality on that kit?

The 5/7 is a perfect kit to enjoy your lowered nnbs,i have a 5/8 and i love the ride quality and have perfect frame clearance,some speed bumps i scrape but not bad.

yea speedbumps arnt bad just go slow over them and slow down over bumpy roads rides just fine specially if you replace the shocks and struts for some drop shocks. and take off the bumpstops also or youl hit them on everything.
