I will never understand, why do people ruin a perfectly good truck/SUV by ,

1: Lowering it and ruining the suspension
2: Installing bigger wheels and ruining fuel mileage, traction and suspension

Why not buy a Vette instead, it is designed to be low, powerful and has great traction.
You don't have to understand; it's not your truck. But here are a couple points that condradict your post:
1: Lowering doesn't ruin any part of the suspension if done correctly.
2: Bigger wheel/tire combos actually improve traction. A lower center of gravity improves handling and at the same time, helps to keep the truck more stable and therefore safer during emergency manuevers. Fuel mileage may go down a little, but imo, a good trade off for a better handling and safer truck.

If I wanted my truck to perform like a vette, I would have bought a vette instead. But I need a truck for a handful of reasons that a vette can not provide. And while I'm towing my boat and other cars with my truck, I might as well look good doing it in the style I like to do it in.
If everyone had the same opinions and the same truck as yours, it would be a rather boring world for car enthusiasts. What would be the point of all the thousands of aftermarket accessory manufacturers and shops? There's a reason the aftermarket car/truck accessory outlet is a multi-million dollar industry.


The reason I bought a Tahoe (my second in 10 years) was because I need 4X4, ground clearance and towing capability. Therefore truck is stock.
Like many other members here, I don't need ground clearance nor 4wd, so my truck is dropped. And I can still tow my boat and race car with no problems. There are also people here that don't need 4wd or the added clearance, but lift their trucks anyway, because they like the look. I like both lifted and lowered styles, but could never ride stock. But I DO understand why some people keep theirs stock ,and I never ask why. People and their tastes are different, whether it's cars, food, entertainment, etc.

yea... i can get it loose in the rain! and do as often as posible. never put 'er in a ditch though... and i DONT have AWD, that takes tallent boost! Im impressed.

I still think i have better traction with my oversized tires than i would with stockers. There is a lot to be said about the quality of the tire you put on your truck (although i have GTII's, which arent superb by any means)


I wish My 07 could break free. Silverado takes like half throttle in the rain. and 3/4 to break free on dry pavement, I can power brake it quite easilly too. Yukon cant do a damn thing, to many nanny mechines. Plus the rear end weighs alot. Silverado I put sand bags back there if Im traveling an extended period in rain. But its still great fun to break free and I practice this alot.

People, stop quoting everyones pictures. It's annoying seeing the same thing 5 times in a row because you feel the need to chime in "nice" or whatever.

Sorry for being a dick, I'll post pics of mine ... whenever I take pictures of it.

Good point.
If you would like to quote someone's post that has pics, you can go back and delete the img code so that only the text appears while you're in the reply window. This way the pics won't show up in multiple posts.

I went back through and removed the mulitple pics to help keep the thread less cluttered.

Just took these today. Vette and yukon cleaned by my self yesterday since it was 80 degrees here. Silverado got all dirty. O yea it rocked. Sorry for the trailer in the pic (much easier to tow this than the 7k monster I usually use, best 400 bucks ever spend) But I took all the old garage cabnits to the land fill today. I need to put pics up of my garage all completed with my super awsome new set up. But here are the trucks.... and the vette. :D

Please excuse my horrible lawn. I fired the crew becuase they bumped the price up to 800 a month just to mow and edge. I went out and bought a super nice lawn tractor for 2 months worth of their work. I have been neglecting it being so busy. But here are pics


The kon. Look how sexy that shine is...:D

I cant figure it out. Its with the front end. Right??? it looks kinda different to me. IDK, its got a big engine. tows the boat well, and is in great condition.

It may be how quadrasteer looks, IDK. But that front end to me is different. Not the headlights, But the whole engine front end. IDK.

I was involved in a minor front end fender bender. the old owners put a non HD hood on when it origionally had an HD hood. Is that the difference maybe???

the longer i look the better i see, the front end seems higher off the ground, the orange marker lights on the roof, the truck bed fenders are also weird looking, not the normal sivly rear fenders... all looks very different from any other silverado i have ever seen
