Best drop for the buck?!?!?

I had it aligned and was told by a co-worker it was w/in all specs (I work at a dealership), but I suppose I can have it checked again. I may just do the spindles. It doesn't bother me anymore, just something I am aware of. I think if the steering became dangerously loose, then I would really pursue it further.

I have it set around 4" of drop compared to a stock truck I measured awhile ago. My driveway is really steep but it seems to be the only thing I bottom out on, I can pull out of driveways and drive over some pretty steep sh*t without issue since I didn't lose much approach angle with the drop. I drive like a moron and still haven't had any issues, this is with parking on snow piles and trying to break my exhaust hangers by driving over stuff that I really shouldn't. Needless to say I doubt anyone else would put their truck through the things I do, she is well taken care of when I'm using her tho :thumbsup:

Just for reference the pro comps now on my truck measure 32" so I still have a pretty good sized tire under the truck

Good thing Max can measure, huh?

...well, I was looking at the Mchaughy's kit... and then I found a bell - tech kit some one took off their Tahoe. Includes Nitro Drop shocks, keys, springs, limiting straps for $250. Tempting. He has front and rear sway bars too...

I wound up with 305/55's so I am going to do a 1" decrank up front and Mcgaughy's 2" rear... we'll see how it goes. I don't quite know how a 1" decrank will "feel", but I know that when I crank t-bars up before (one inch) it rode just fine.

Should ride fine or even smoother, I'm gonna raise mine up 1/2" once I do my sway bars but I think I'll be purchasing those djm lowers this spring.
