Default 2014 silverado lowered

Finally got around to lowering the truck. I ordered a Mcgaughys 4/6 kit. It seems to have came down about 5/7. Next on my list is to get it color matched. I just bought some smaller tires so I should have some updated pics soon.

Thanks everyone, the kit is spindle and struts. The struts have 5 rings and if you leave all 5 rings off it lowers it 2 1/2. Each ring removed off the new strut is half an inch. The rear is a flip kit. No notch and I did have to relocate a brake bracket that sits on top of the axle. It would hit on the bed. My exhaust is still ran all the way to the back and that's also hitting. I'm thinking I'll just do a turn down after the exhaust. I haven't driven it much cuz it was rubbing up front really bad when I'd turn. I should have more updates on the ride tomorrow. My 275/45/20 tires should be on by tomorrow. Before lowering mine I seen all the ones around the internet. I loved how they looked this low and after I lowered it I wondered how some of them were still running the stock tires.

Yes the truck is a 4x4 Z71. The 275/45/20 were mounted today. Not sure if he'll get around to posting pics tonight or not.
