Looks good. Real good. That is a very tastefully slammed truck. What do you have planned for the winter?

my drop kit is 4/6 but with my tires and wheels it is dropped from stock about 5/7.
Also the truck ran a 13.61 with those wheels and tires on it when it had a procharger. I sold the procharger about two months ago.

Sorry for the battery of questions, but I'd like to ditch my S-10 and go back to a Silverado...if I do, you're stance/ride height is what I want...what wheel/tire size and which brand/type is the drop kit?

No problem on the questions. The more the better.The brand of drop is DJM and my tire sizes are 245/40/20 in front and 275/45/20 in the rear.

Thanks!

Pics and specs have been officially added to the "to-do" list...of course, I need to sell the S-10 and get a Silverado!

I thought about getting an s-10 before i bought tjis one and i figured that i would like the full size truck a lot better. I just like how they look when they have some work done to them.

Yeah...you made the right choice. I had a 2000 Silverado that I traded in on the SS...I bought my 02 S-10 Xtreme as a daily driver...it's nice and comfortable, but the full size is the hands-down winner...all it takes is a little drop, some wheels, and a billet grille to make the Silverado shine...
