Hey what happened to the flairs QuicksilverZ71. It looks good without them too, but that was one of the unique things about your truck I liked.

it's what I am doing...already took the block out of the back which came pretty close to leveling the truck. I just got the 2" shackles today. I'll install them tomorrow, lower the front a touch and take some pics and post em. I only need about 3/4" in the front. I just hope there's that much in it without goin to new keys or spindles. We'll see...

Well I want dibs on your Flares if you do take them off and want to get rid of them

Dropping is good looking to me just as long as it fits your needs. But then again I'm with F8l and i love the look of a stock Z71, just waiting for my 20's! bling bling, good luck with whatever you choose!

I love black but its too much of a pain in the ***. And 4wd for future traction issues. And all other options the same... Loaded
If I had a 4wd I would want it lowerd like a 2wd and no z71 or 4wd badges either
I would say do what ever fit your needs as well. As long as you like your truck who cares for other peoples opinions

04black,
I got 15,300 for my 04 (same truck as yours) with 18k mi on it. That sucked so bad. But I did get into the truck I wanted. So go for it.
