Default 2 / 2 Questions

If I use 2" drop springs on the front and 2" drop shackles (or blocks) on the rear...('00 Silvy) will the front end need any adjustments??

Would this look o.k. with stock wheels / tires (for now ?)

Any pics of 2/2 drops ??

For a 2" rear drop all you need is shackles. No matter what you do to the front, lift, drop, you always will need an alignment.

i did a 1/2 drop on mine and it sits up just right with the stocker or the 20's... I think if you go 2/2 then you would be able to tell quite abit that it is lower in the front...

a guy at work has a 2/2 drop on his truck and to me it doesn't look right. the rear has too much fender gap and the front wheels tuck. i wish i had a way to take a pic of it for you to see.

i was considering a 2/4 drop on my 05 silverado (already did shackles in the back) so for now it is balanced. do you guys think 2 inch in the front is to much if i were to put 22's on it?

The guy at work is rolling 20s and is an extended cab which makes it look totally different than that.
