I lowered mo 00 GMC Ex-Cab 2/4 and it WILL be getting a notch shortly, I hate slowing down for RR tracks and I have the short bumpstops in it.

My $0.02

I used LCA's in the front and Belltech shackles and DJM hangers in the rear. It rides like stock till the rear end bottoms out. I love the look bit I need to notch it.
