Default 2011 LTZ ECSB 2/4 Drop

Hey All, I posted this in the GMT900 area but thought it would be good to post some pics here too. Just finished up a 2/4 drop on my 2011 LTZ....let me know what you think! I am going to drive it a while and see how it settles but I am thinking a little lower in the front may be good. I love how the back turned out though...

Next plans are remove badges/stickers/door moldings/rain guards/etc. Also thinking about black bowtie and grill inserts with black headlights.....haven't decided yet

Dude that looks slick. I would drop it 4/6 tomorrow if I had a helper bag kit on hand and the front cv axles would live. I have heard anything lower than 3" in the front eats them up. I may end up at 3/5 though and that would be maybe the best of all worlds (looks, tow, haul, 4wd).....

Also, I was wondering how black headlights would look and that truck just about sold me. Do you have any picks of the front?

This is the only pic I have of the front view... and yeah with yours being a 4wd it’s kinda hard going any lower than 3-5... those helper bags make a huge difference in both ride quality and load capacity... I have a McGaughys set on my SS truck and I love them 👌🏼

Awesome man thanks! What shocks are you running with the helpers? I’m not sure yet if I like these street performers....

I had belltech street performance on all 4s... but the rear seemed too firm so I switched to Monroe sensatracs for the rear and rides way smoother... I keep the bags at medium press so it’s not so firm when I don’t use them... for the front shocks they’re a little too stiff for my liking but I also don’t want a too soft shock that will make my tires hit my fenders

Here's mine on 22's, I removed the rear block and had to buy the shorter belltech shocks or it would bottom out the factory length shock.

congrats, looks great!
I had my NNBS at multiple lowered heights, and the 2/4 was the most enjoyable and well rounded for myself.
