Drop kit on....

[nxtlevl]

Finally got the drop on the truck...As it is my well-driven daily, I just opted for a 2/4 drop...Going to have some work done on the bed..shaved stake pockets..roll pan...hail dents..etc. then eventually remove badging/molding and get my painted tahoe shell put back on......Just replaced the side windows/rear glass recently, because my old ones were pretty bad...Now if mother-nature will give me a break, I could get my wheel wells cleaned up and painted....

Thanks.........I bought this 2000 Silvy with 110k on it a while back for pretty cheap locally..My intentions are to make it look like a "factory sport-truck".....Looked like total crap when I brought it home, and have slowly over the last few months been trying to fix it up little by little..New windows..All new lights..'03 tails..Cowl hood...McGaughys shackles/hangers..Belltech spindles...painted Tahoe shell (not on the truck currently)....GM Accessory 20's..tons of other maintenance related things etc..The bed has some hail damage, but I'll get that taken care of when I get the roll pan/shaved stake pockets done...debadged etc...It has the 4.8 which doesn't do too bad, and later down the road I'll start upgrading that..I've been having fun getting it back into shape.... I think it's come a long ways since the day I brought it home. (which is the last picture posted)...I'm lovin' it, and look forward to spending more time/money on it, but would like to get it done and start focusing on the Camaro again.....

Looks damn good man! I'm doing the same as you with my 04 and it had been for me as well. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

Looks good! A little more colormatching and you'll be good to go!

The drop looks good, I'm going to do the same on my work truck. What size tire are you running?

looks really good. I like your wheels too. What year model are they?

Thanks everybody.......Still have alot of more things I want done, but it will get there eventually...Currently running the stock 275-55 tires on it which are going to be replaced with a 40 or 45 series...These tires are a little on the big side, but they are like new and I couldn't afford to shell out any more money right now...They rub slightly on full "lock to lock" turns, but I just try to be careful and haven't had any major issues so far........

Thanks...I'll have to get the style # from the back side of the rim, but they are GM Accessory wheels that can be ordered from GM.....I bought the wheels/tires used from an older guy for pretty cheap....I plan on getting a different set of factory wheels later on this year when I get some more money saved up...

I would go with the 275/45/20 if it was me. Thats what is on my truck....I liked having the little extra sidewall.

Looks I good man, I have the same truck and still got a way to go but it's my DD so I can only do so much at a time. Getting ready to paint it though and finish my HD front conv.

Thanks..........I know how it is trying to fix something up that's a daily driver...Seems like you always have to go back and re-do something you just did, because it inevitably gets screwed up....That's all this truck will ever be is a DD....I just figured I'd put a little money in it here and there, and try to make it look decent....You'll have to put some pics up of your truck. I was originally going to do the HD conversion on mine, but I picked up this cowl hood for super cheap and just went that route instead......
