hmm ok, this truck could definitely use better shocks, BEL-991SP set at 3/5 will the stock 255/70r17's work?

I do not see why not. The overall diameter is only 31", you may rub from time to time on larger bumps/dips.
did all the work myself. like it, but was expecting a little lower. did McG's 2" lowering spindles and 2" shackles / remove blocks for the back. was hoping 2 / 3.25" drop, but really only got 1.5 and just over 2"
here's the before and after

More suspension info: that silver reg cab has installed coilovers in the front. I do not have a part number for the rear shocks yet.
From Vi-king: c120t shocks
From Vi-king: 12dp600 springs
From Jack-it: 91-3712 coilover mount
Just got off the phone with Vi-King. he said the part number on the shock is C210T, just a fyi...
Hey guys i got a 2014 Silverado CC and i am going with the belltech spring and shackle 2/3 drop and was wondering if anybody has done this and has needed the new control bushings in order for it to align or if i can just skip them and will still be able to get it aligned.
Thanks for the help

If you are doing just 2" front drop you should be able to avoid the camber bushings. I would suggest using the strut over the spring though

Spring changes ride quality when the strut enhances it. The OE struts are a bit soft, the Belltech strut is a tad bit stiffer. This makes the ride more comfortable in my opinion.
Are the arms/bjs the same on the 2016 as they are on 14 and 15. Will a 14-15 djm arm kit work on the 16
