I have begun researching drop information for gm1000s and I thought I’d start throwing the info out there. This will include everything from:
kits we’ve seen people use plus comments and reviews of those kits
other components used
pics with drops
stock tires…rub or no
and ect.
I’ll mainly focus on 4/7 drops (because that’s what I want to do)
I know of 3 basic drop kits:
DJM (DJM2507-4/7) 658$ without shocks

McGaughys adjustable kit (34160) 749$ without
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2014 3/5 - 4/6 Deluxe Drop Kit - McGaughys Part# 34160 - Mcgaughys-Suspension.com
Belltech 4/7 kit (BEL-993SP) 767$ without shocks
Belltech 2014+ Silverado/Sierra 4/7 Lowering Kit
from what I’m hearing, both the DJM and McGaughys flip kits are regurgitated 07-13 flip kits and cause driveline vibration and require a bit of modifying. Belltech uses a new kit.

With DJM 4/7:
I have no belltech pics at all, save the belltech truck.
More suspension info: that silver reg cab has installed coilovers in the front. I do not have a part number for the rear shocks yet.
From Vi-king: c120t shocks
From Vi-king: 12dp600 springs
From Jack-it: 91-3712 coilover mount
going thru all the complains about tire rubbing with stock 20s...i've come to the conclusion that stockers will rub with anything at or above 31" tall.
