Well I got my truck probebly july 2nd of this year its a 2000 gmc sierra ext.cab.It was completly factory with the exception of a bedliner and chrome fender trim.The first thing I bought about 30 minutes after I bought it was some xenon bulbs.Since then I've added xenon hi's,billet grille,I ordered a new key fob since the one with the truck was pretty wore out.I added some 04 silverado tails and a flowmaster super 40.I removed the tow hooks,tow hitch,bedliner,emblems,pinstripe and chrome fender trim.I also added 20" adr raven wheels on 275/45/20 tires.

I didnt think about the drop when i got my tires so now im forced to get a 2/4 or some shackles in the mean time.A drop and some tint will be my next mods although i have many more planned.

Looks good, like someone else said, till you figure out what drop you want at least throw some 2" drop shackles on there. :rocking:

thanks for the comments,i would like to 4/6 it but with the tires I have im going to go with the 2/4 for a while.

The wheels dont really stick out,maybe 1" at the most.

I need to get some silicon then I will clear the headlights.

The problem with goign from a 2/4 to a 4/6 later is most 2/4s require you to replace the factory hangers, and the 4/6 requires you to put the factory hanger back on .. lots of work. If you go 2/4 you might want to look into a kit that comes with new real leaf springs.

Also you might want to check into a 3/5, a lot of guys have done it and it looks good with bigger tires.

yea,i also considered it and now that you mention the hanger situation it probebly would be better to go 3/5.is there a 5" rear flip kit?

Great looking truck...coming along nicely. Something else to look into might be some painted Yukon/Escalade door handles. Keep up the good work :rocking:
