Do you have a regular, extended, or crew cab and how much are you wanting to lower. Ground Force, and Mcgaughys makes some great lowering kits for the new body silverado.

Here is a pic of my truck. I have only lowered the rear of mine with shackles and removed the block between the leaf springs and the axle. That equals a three inch rear drop just to level it out. You can also check out http://www.groundforce.com/, http://www.djmsuspension.com/applica...s/20071500.htm, http://mcgaughys.com/07chevy_dodge.htm.

So then do we have a 3 inch rake on our trucks

Mine after mods still has about 3/4" rake. Yours could be a little different. So yes they have around 3" of rake + or - from factory. Just measure from the center of your center cap to the lip of the fenders on level ground to figure how much of a drop you would like to have.
