Drop is complete. Belltech spindles, shackles and hangars and about 1" torsions too. The alignment shop 'squared' the truck off so all 4 corners are now at the right hight. Gm had them all screwy.

Not sure, I'm kind off attached to them....think it'd look better? I think the Nerf's make it look lower than it really is and they do help me wash the cab top!

Damn! That looks very good. I would definitely get rid of the bed rails. You can keep the nerf bars if you want, but I would get rid of those too. BTW, I would also consider removing the Z71 stickers too.

Looking good. You will be suprised just how much better and cleaner the truck will look without the rails and nerf bars. Since its dropped I would think about removing all badges including the z71 sticker. That way it wil be a hell of a sleeper. No one would know its a 4x4.

IMO i think you should ditch the bed rails, and the nerf bars. it would look very very nice. but if not, its still a clean truck and i still like it.

Wow, that's a low Z71. It looks fantastic! How much of a drop is that? I think the bed rails and nerbs bars are okay, but you must get those tires tucked into the fender wells now.
