offical lowered thread of standard cab pu, lets see them! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I dropped my tahoe with ground force springs and i bought my 03 gmc and it looks to be dropped with just springs. I do not like the ride is a spindle drop that much better? I would like a little more space from the bump stops.

Drop spindles will give you stock suspension geometry at a lower ride height. So drop spindles ride like stock.

That looks good! I really like the stance.
What brand wheels & size tires are those?...I like the combo.

aiRFLo · 03-02-2011, 07:28 PM

Im probably gonna do a static drop and was wondering whats a good drop if I still want to occasionally tow a boat or etc. Would like to go as low as possible.

droppedgmc · 03-03-2011, 12:58 AM

4/6 or 7 with helper bags

i have a 2000 std cab, i have the joe gibbs racing 20's. i got 3" shackles on the back, but i thought about lowering the front with spindles, but my only concern is i have 275/55 20s, would the fatter sidewall give me clearence problems... you have any info on that? thanks....

jb1016 · 05-23-2011, 12:16 AM

Not a fan of the step beds...but I dig the HD hoods, and I really like using factory wheels on these trucks. Got any pics of trucks with these newer LTZ wheels?

my sierra is a step side so i got a thing for em. im a big fan of the factory wheels and hd hoods too. as you can tell. i dont have any on the silverado ltz. i do have a photo shop that my wife did for my truck on tahoe ltz and the denali wheels that are on it. it aint dropped yet but if yall wanna see ill put the photo shop up.

**Boog** · 05-23-2011, 07:21 PM

Let er rip tater chip.

That hd hood on the gold short is a different look. I like it. Of course I like GMC's, a lot.

66redw/white · 05-23-2011, 08:13 PM

this is with the denalis that are on it

and with the tahoe ltz 20s.

jb1016 · 05-25-2011, 12:23 PM

That's sharp. I think the LTZ wheels (old and new style) look good on anything.

66redw/white · 05-26-2011, 07:22 PM

jb1016. i saw a white truck today with those 20 inch ltz you like. couldnt get my camera out fast enough though. ill definately keep a look out for it!

*Shane* · 05-26-2011, 10:52 PM

what tire size would you guys recommend on regular cab lowered 2/4 on a 18" x 8" wheel?

*Shane* · 05-27-2011, 03:54 PM

is that hood a direct bolt-on? or does it require some modifications?

looks awesome!

66redw/white · 05-27-2011, 07:34 PM

yeah i like the hd hoods too. i havent read enough about them as to wether or not they are a direct bolt on. looks like they are but ill have to find out. as for the wheels they are factory 20 inch gmc truck wheels.
