I think it looks good. Needs bigger wheels maybe?? On mine a 5" front would put the tire into the wheelhouse (32"+- total overall diameter). 275/55R20's. What is the ride like??

I just don't want to fall out and hurt myself 2/4 or even 2/3 would be fine for me. I don't want it to be obvious its been lowered. Spindles for alignment ease, shackles for installation ease and cost, plus no permanent mods (ie I'm not going to cut off hangars or notch anything).

Normally pinion angle problems cause vibes and in severe cases u-joint breakage. If stock, pretty unlikely unless something is bent as the angles are designed in. Once you start raising/lowering or changing out arms you can get into issues.

Wow this stuff can get kinda confusing pretty fast, everyone has different kits and numbers and selling points. Some of the kits are so new nobody even seems to have them yet!!

That truck is beautiful...it may have just convinced me to get a RCSB '07. Don't be mad if I order the exact same truck With the 20's I think even a 1/4 drop would look good...at least a ton better than the 8" gap now.

I like how the air dam fits into the bumper, unlike the silverado where it looks like an out of place afterthought.

I think a 4/6 drop would be real nice, with a toneau cover, dang that is one bad truck! Ever since the superbowl when the adds started coming out, I was hooked on the new GMC's that front facia is just so nice looking, nice truck man
