New DD! Questions and Recommendations
Hey guys! I am happy to report that I added another RCSB to my driveway, this one is a DD (couldn't stand driving a Hyundai every day). 2014 W/T with power windows and locks, 5.3l with 25k, 2wd. So far, I love it!
It has been lowered slightly and I was hoping someone may recognize the brand of lowering kit because I'm trying to find out more information. Fender Heights are as follows with 275/55R20's (31.9x10.8):
FR: 33 7/16" FL: 33 7/8"
RR: 35 7/16" RL: 36"
It appears that it has stock front struts, but they are bolted to the bottom of the control arm.
And it has a flip kit with an adjustable rear bolt-on shackle mount...
And then I started playing with the wheels. Tried on my old 20x8.5 Boss 330’s – I’m not a huge fan.
And then I went to swap over the racestars…but quickly realized these trucks have disc breaks so I couldn’t fit the 15x10s. Pretty sure it would look good tho…
Plans include doing some color matching up front and adding a little bit of chrome. I want to drop the rear another 2 inches, add more tint, gloss black door handles, and either some chrome 20-22inch CK156’s (snowflakes) or ck375’s.
Thoughts, comments, and recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

I have the second wheel but I chose 18's for performance. Personally I think the wheels on it now look fine. Nice truck!

Ryan, your truck is what sold me on the 22" snowflakes and I do think that I'll go with the machined finish after looking at the pic of yours again - looks awesome!
Wuznme, I ran the rear shock PN earlier today and it came up with a rough country shock - that's as far as I got. So I'll check out rough country and see what I can figure out.
ZO6, yea I like them too. I'm not worried about performance with this truck and haven't decided on 20s or 22s...
Appreciate the help and compliments, gents!
