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.

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.

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?

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

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

66redw/white 05-26-2011 07:22 PM

Re: offical lowered thread of standard cab pu, lets see them!
 
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!

Re: offical lowered thread of standard cab pu, lets see them!
 
is that hood a direct bolt-on? or does it require some modifications?

looks awesome!

66redw/white 05-27-2011 07:34 PM

Re: offical lowered thread of standard cab pu, lets see them!
 
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.
