Haha, they weren't bad just really bouncy. The light backend of my reg. cab wanted to bounce all over the place with them, didn't have much of a problem bottoming out tho.. The street performers ride better wayyy better but with them the tops of my tires bang the rear fender wells from time to time and have left some indentions and what not as well as smacking frame sometimes.

Edit: I had shock extenders on the air shocks but never put them back on with the belltech's when I swtiched. I still have the extenders but not sure if they'd make a difference.

I think you need 50 series if your only dropping 1 inch

Thought about that as I'll prolly never go lower than a 5/8 until I drop the cash to bag it but haven't really seen any rides on 50 series tires. Kinda looking for whatever I can get a deal on. Have some buddies that work at tire shops and been trying to find a decent set of used ones but no luck yet.

haha, exactly what I just had pulled up and was looking at. I was planning on trying to do the same drop he was thinking about with a cut coil so if he does it before I buy tires I guess that'll give me an idea. Thinking about it tho I'm sure a 50 series might be the best bet.
 
truck looks great. and good in person.. only recommendation I have is take off the billet and colormatch the gmc emblem. :shake:

Thanks :shake: I agree, trying to find a Denali grill to replace the billet and going to colormatch the gmc in a week or two once school is out. Dealing with someone on a newer front bumper if the price is right and going to get it and the rear bumper color matched as well.
 
Got the guy down to $250 on this....what do y'all think? Just the bumper is more than that on GMPD

Damn that's a good deal

I thought so. He wants $350 but we got him down to $250. Still debating but will more than likely pull the trigger. Figure I could get what I could out of the one on my truck now and recover a little bit of the cost.
