What drop setup are you running?

 

ended up being about a 4.5/7 drop being a Z71. DJM 3" drop arms with Belltech front springs set on 1 inch. raised up about a half inch. rear is a DJM 6 inch flip kit with the shorter 1 inch shackle and Belltech nitro drop 2 shocks

4wd or 2wd?

[blownZ71]

Would you mind giving me a little more information on your suspension setup?

 

This truck IS a 4wd?

Aluminum control arms?

What belltech parts were used in the front? Part #?

Belltech rear shock part #

Did you ever end up changing the sway bar setting? What did you think?

 

 

 

2014 Sierra SLE Z71 with a 2/4 (which actually measures 1.75" lower in the front, and 3.25" lower in the rear)

 

Components:

Helwig Sway Bar

Belltech front adjustable struts

Belltech rear shocks

Belltech rear lowering kit (shackles, U-bolts, plates etc)

 

Consistent with many other owner's feedback, the Belltech's are a huge improvement in ride quality over the very harsh Ranchos that come on a Z71. As for the Hellwig sway bar, and I gotta tell ya.............it transforms the truck. Sure, it sits flat railing around a cloverleaf on the freeway, but you can really feel the difference ALLthe time, even just pulling away from a light and turning left or right, it feels way tighter/flatter. There are three stiffness settings for the sway bar, and they set me up at the least stiffest of the three to start. I'll have them adjust it to the stiffest and let you folks know how it feels.

I have a 2002 regular cab short box 4x4

 

Was wondering what I could do as far as lowering and leveling this ride without too many negative side effects

 

If there is a kit that would accommodate my intensions possibly someone could point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks in Advance

Yes, it is a 4x4
Aluminum control arms

Front = Belltech BEL 25004

Rear = RK2507-3 plus MS34044 Shock extenders

4wd. had it in the shop this past weekend making some adjustments. sat about a 1/4" lower on the LF so I made up some spacers to even it up. the RR was also alittle higher so I brought it down raising the opposite corner. Rides and drives great, no rubbing except full lock, barely touches the fender liners on large interstate bridge overpasses

I love that truck. I'm just worries about going 7 in the rear with no notch.

You don't need to notch with a 7, only need to cut the bump stops

Some really nice trucks in this thread! Mine is a 2016 Deep Ocean Blue Silverado LS 5.3L. Rear was dropped a bit with 2" shackles/spacer block removal and wheels are 22x9 OE Replicas with 305/40r22 Falken Ziex S/TZ05 tires.

Nice Ride it would look awesome with a 3-5 though!

Thanks RT and finding your truck several times during google searches on tire size and lowering is what actually led me to the forum here! I would like to lower it similar to yours but have a couple of questions if you don't mind and it doesn't take away from this thread.
