Default New Stance

Few changes since the beginning.
-removed some badges
-2'' drop-coils upfront
-4 link in back w/ 4'' drop
-275/60 Toyos
-Tahoe grille

Definetly a lot more work to do but, I love the dropped look compared to stock. I already want it lower after 3 days at this height.

That's a good looking stance. You got any pics of the 4-link, and did you use the kp-components kit?

Thank you. That's what I'm looking at next but, performance has always been #1 most of the time. So, I can't quite decide which way to go yet.

Looks great! I would also take the molding off too. I agree wheels would make it look better, but it doesn't look bad with the stockers.

Just a few notes real quick for the hell of it.
The 2'' drop coils from McGaughys lowered the front of the truck 1.5''. I don't know if this is normal.
Also, after lowering the back end 4'' and the drop coil addition upfront, the handling around corners has improved tremendously. Much better feel than before.

Thank you. I also think the molding needs to go. I was thinking taking it all off and buying the strip for the door on the 03-05 Silverados... just for door ding protection.

I agree about the wheels. I think the Toyos make it look decent but, some 20s would definetly help. Can't decide yet.

Right near 1,000 but, it can be had for cheaper.

Riding at the stock height, the 4 link road close to stock. Now, the additional 4'' drop has added some bounce to the rear end. I think this is partially due to something with the bump stops. You can't tell from the pictures above because those were taken before the drop but, they now lay right on the axle. I was reading thru this thread here: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...ghlight=4+link
I'm still investigating however.
