Default need pics of trucks with 2"/4" drop

Hy guys I want to see pics of your truck with 2"/4" drop on stock tires and rims. Do these ride good, does it make the truck more stable around corners and such?
EDIT: How will a 2" front drop coil and a 4" rear drop shackle and drop spring hanger combination ride? Would it be better to get a lowering spindle or does it not rally matter?

Default Here's mine...

00 GMC With a 2/4 drop. I don't have any pics with the stock wheels but I will run them in the winter. It seems to lean a little bit less in the corners but that is not the reason I lowered mine. I ended up putting a ART C-Notch in the rear because even with 1" pancake bumpstops it still only had like 1 1/4" clearance, Now it rides awesome. (I also have rear air shocks set @ 30 lbs. unloaded)

the suspension will be tighter and the truck will have a lower center of gravity so it will handle better...it wont ride like it does now, a little rougher. I have the 2" springs and the 4" shckles and hangers. It doesnt matter if you get spindles or whatever. heres a pic of my truck with a 2/4 but I have rims on it

If you want it to ride good, get the DJM kit with LCA's in the front.

I heard that the c-notch is required for something lower then a 3/5 or if you want to install air shocks on a 3/5 you should do the c-notch or esle your differential will hammer the chassis making some dents on your bed! like my cuzin did to this silverado the c-notch is when you cut a C in the chassis to make clearance for the differantial to go in the chassis and not hammer it/....im i right guys??
