Hey everyone, Im sure its been asked several times over but what dose everyone think of dropping the front of a 2000 sierra? How far can I go just cranking the torsion bars? Is it safe? Should I use lowering keys? I am on a budget so keep that in mind, but I would like to go with a 2/4 drop. Thanks

If you like the look of rake then do it. Were you gonna drop the back as well or no?

Yuo can get an inch or so but you will need an alignment. I took the 2" riser blocks out of mine and torqed the fron down an inch or inch and a half.
Later I did the 2 4 drop.

OK, so what I'm thinking is going with lowering keys that I have seen in truckin mag for $50.00 [anyone ever use these] to take the front down 2 inch. As for the rear I want to go 3 inch by using lowering shackles and taking out my stock blocks. I am also running 22s do you think this might be a probloms rubbing? Thanks for the help guys!

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
What size are your 22's? Do you know the width and offset of your wheels? This will decide if the 22's will rub.
There a 22x10 with 305 45 22 tires. As for the offset Im not sure but there right at the body line. There the ones that are on in the pic.

they will rub where the fuel lines run throught the fenderwell on the drivers side, i used belltech front keys and djm rear shackles, and swapped the blocks on the rear and got 3/4 out of it but the alignment is a bi@#& so id get the control arms instead of the keys, i will be switching. im runnin 275 55 20 and slight rub, only visible not evident other wise.........

They will rub. 275/45R22 on a 22X9.5 with +15 or +18 offset will fit, lowered, without rubbing.Originally Posted by Jeremy K
Your setup is what we sell for stock-height trucks that want to fill out the wheel wells.
