    What should I do as far as lowering?

    I have a 2006 2wd reg cab. Its a DD... I want to lower it but not sure how much? I use to have a 1990 silvy with a 4/6 and liked it, but my friend has a 05 with a 2/4 and it looks good...SO im debating 2/4, 4/6, and even 5/7. Is 5/7 to low for a DD? Would just like some opinions and maybe some pics of your trucks and what you have. Thanks
    Stock 06 LT for now...

    I don't know a lot about it, but I think I remember hearing that anything greater than a 4" rear drop and you have to notch and/or channel the frame.

    Yeah 2/4 sounds good, I dont really want to notch the rear anyway, but damn 4/6 looks badass...Theres a 06 by my house that has a 4/6 with 20s and looks super clean! I want to be able to get traction though so 17's or 18's is what im thinkin so I can get some good sized tires. Maybe something like a 295/50/18 in the rear and 255/55/18 in the front.
