Lowering Silverado 2" front and 4" rear

[reddeadg8]

Hi All, seeking some guidance from those with experiance in this.  First time lowering.

 

The plan is to lower 2021 Silverado 1500 RST 4x4 (with 6.2 engine) 2"/4".

 

Parts/Pieces:

 

2" Lowering Spindles - MaxTrac 101920

4" Rear Adj. Lowering Flip Kit - Maxtrac 301940

Rear Shock Extenders - MaxTrac 401900

Bilstein 4600 front shocks - 24-293457

Bilstein 4600 rear shocks - 24-293464

Wheel will be a 22x10 with +30 offset

Tire will be 305/45/22 highway tread tire not AT

 

+shave/cut down bumb stops (thanks shakenfake)

 

Besides potentially needing shims for leafsprings to make sure I have good angles/no vibrations, am I missing anything? Please poke holes in my plan!

I believe on these new trucks a 4" drop may warrant a c-notch. 

 

22x10s I don't like but I guess are acceptable. You are just gonna have that stance

4" does not require c-notch, i have confirmed that.

Okay cool I wasn't sure about it but needed to put that in your head

 

New bumpstops. Your old ones are going to be very long and will make for a crappy ride

anyone got anything else?

I think someone on here just posted something about their 4" riding rough and bottoming out. I would highly recommend a c-notch. I know you don't "need" it but they are just like the old GMT-800 trucks, 4" really should get a c-notch.

 

 

Also I would search for the thread, it was just posted yesterday I think.
