Default What drop kit?

I have an '08 cc Silverado, just got some 24's on 305's and want to drop it. What brand kit do you recommend, and I was thinking a 2, 4 but dont want it to rub too bad. One of the main things I am looking for is a smooth ride.

ground force, best parts
you can do 2/3 easily with spindles, shackles and remove rear block.

2/4 more stuff and money

I went a lot lower than you but I used DJM C-arms up front and a flip kit in the rear. I would do a spindle drop for the front and shackles and remove the rear block. I bet you will want to go lower.

4/7 or bust lol



I keep saying that I didn't want to go this low but keep getting talked into it so I did. And I love it.

I have for the front-
ground force spindles
Belltech struts

And a flip kit in the rear with helper bags.

It rides great for me but I want to do a notch so I can probably take the helper bags off. If it wasn't for the bags I would have a ruff ride cause my roads suck. It just depends on your driving conditions. Some roads around here suck, some are good. But with the helper bags I can travel any where without a problem.

but you will probably have to cut up the front fenders to get those 305s to not rub like crazy
