Thinking of lowering at 30K?

[BlancoSilverado]

Hello Everyone, 

 

I am thinking of lowering my truck a little bit at 30K(miles) im at 23K right now and would like to know if there are any issues with doing this. I really only want to lower the front by an inch and the rear by 2". I know that pinion angle issues have arise so i have bought a pinion angle gauge. 

 

I believe i will be installing;

2x 25019   (beltech)

2x 6416     (beltech)

and probably buy some shim/angle kits to verify pinion angle before and after.

You should be fine, mileage-wise.

You should be fine with that minimal drop, what are your concerns?

Im just rolling over 25k right now. It will be a could more months before i do the actual lowering. 

 

I did put bilstein rear shocks on. I know i shouldn't lower but i might just do 1" in the rear instead. because i cant really do anything. I might run to a pick and pull and pull and adapt a sway bar for the rear of my truck.
