Need a drop!

[J.Whitten]

I just got a Joe Gibbs silverado, but it sits to high in the back what can I do to level it out, and how much does it cost? Im not sure yet but I would like to lower the front a little maybe an inch or so. Can anyone help me out?

Don't they come lowered 2" in the rear already, if so then just get 2" hangers and 2" hotchkis coils up front or 2" Mcgaughys spindles for a 2-4 drop, you'll feel a difference in the handling for sure.
Post some pics of the truck and let us know how you like it.....did you get the 4.8 or the 5.3.

They come lowered 2" but when you put 20's it raises it back up. I got the 4.8 w/ 5 speed. Awesome truck just needs minor thing changed. How will a drop affect my towing/ traction and what not?

wheel size shouldn't affect the height of the truck unless you got bigger overall diameter tires. A 2/4 drop CAN affect towing if you don't notch the frame. The NBS trucks don't have as much clearance out back as the OBS trucks do. I have only 1-1/2" of clearance before my axle housing hits the snubbers. Not much there. Throw some weight in the bed and it's basically riding on them. :read:

The overall diameter is larger, also I was looking at the truck this weekend and noticed as of right now when I make sharp turns the wheels rub the fender wells, Is this going to get worse with a drop?

Yes it will get worse if it's already hitting.

Sorry gmcjoe but it has been raining here for the last 2 weeks, besides I'm not asking what it would look like I'm asking what kits are made and how much they cost, what problems come with the drop. You should not need pics to answer these simple questions. Now when it stops raining I plan to post pics.

I think gmcjoe is just wanting to see what your truck looks like, just as a I would too. I havent seen or really heard of one. So lets see some pics and welcome.
