2008 Silverado Drop questions

Edited: 9/12/2011 4:00:22 PM by Jaxxaholic

This is my first time to lower anything so i have some questions that are probably pretty easy to answer. I have a 2008 silverado and i wanna do a 5 7 drop on 24's. I have about 800 dollars to spend on a kit so i just wanna know if i need to notch it and what would be a good kit for me to run. Also what tires do i need to run to minimize rubbing as much as possible. I have 305/35/24 tires now which im guessing are way too big. Any help and advice would be really helpful. Thanks alot.

What do you have....RC, EC or crew cab?
My regular cab 08 SIlvy is 4/7, which is the usual drop amount, and i dont need a notch

If you have a extended cab or crew, you will either need helper bags or a notch..

McGauhys makes a good 4/7 kit consisting of coil relocators, spindles and a flip kit...if you want 5" for sure i guess you could do 4" DJM arms along with Belltech adjustable struts or the adjustable McGaughys coil relocators...

305 sounds way to wide for this drop...im thinking more along the lines of 275 or 265, but dont hold me to that...
