Default Need pics of lowered silvys on stock 17s

I've been wanting to drop my truck for a while now but I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out what drop to go with. I already know a 2/4 drop is too much (IMO that big of a drop doesn't look good on the stock 17s), and I know a 2 inch rear drop would look nice but I will probably want more. So I know this sounds strange but I was thinking about a 1/3 drop instead of a 2/4 but I am worried it will still be to low. So if you guys could post up some pics of either a 2 inch rear drop or a 2/4 drop (unless you have pics of a 1/3 drop that would be nice) on the stock 17s, I would appreciate it. BTW, I tryed a search and found next to nothing, and there were some good pics in the "post a pic of your truck" thread, but most didn't say what drop it was so that didn't help much.

Thanks for the pic, and yeah I've been really thinking about it and I think a 2 inch rear drop is what I need.

There are/were several trucks on here with 2/4 drops and stockers and it looks good IMO, although some nice billets make it that much better

Here's a 5/8 on stockers (actually the first two are more like 6/9 I think); looks pretty good IMO. 2/4 and 3/6 looks pretty good on them too.
