2006 Silverado Crewcab- Lowering/Wheels

Hey guys, I just got a 2006 Silverado Crewcab 2wd.

I'm looking to lower it 5/7. Can I run 22's and still a decent sized tire with it that low, or should I go with 20's? I'm not looking to run a really skinny tire, so just looking for some suggestions on tire size?

Thanks guys.

Does anyone here have experience with a 5/7 drop on a Silverado as a daily driver?

I know it would look great, I'm just not sure if it will be too easy to scrape on stuff. The roads I generally drive on aren't too bad though.

Look in the suspension section over at:
www.gmfullsize.com.
They discuss this stuff everyday over there.
Very knowledgeable group.

There are certain suspension issues that are specific to the NBS crew cabs.

Thanks. Yeah, I had heard about some people changing the driveshafts on them.
