Ok I have a 2000 silverado scsb, it already has a belltech 3/4 drop, a 2 inch drop spindle up front and a one inch drop spring up front, and out back it has both front and rear shackles and a c notch, I'm wanting to go down to a 5/7, I was thinking a belltech 3 inch drop spring up front and a belltech drop leaf spring, but I have some questions and I was hoping you guys could help me out, will my 275/40/20 tires rub?? I don't think they rub at all right now. Also what shock would you recommend for the front?? Should I use shock extenders for the rear? And what are some other problems I may run into?? Thank you guys and appreciate any feedback, here's a pic of how it sits now also (sorry if I missed a post on this stuff already)

 
That tire would work. How about coilovers? You get a good drop, good shock and way less bumpsteer. I have very little.

I'm not familiar with drop leafs. Very few people run them. Adjusted swears his rode great. I think Tim @ suspensiononline stated they are great. Email him. I do remember him saying most don't run them because the cost to ship is expensive.

And personally, I'd drop the rear another inch or two and leave it as is. Unless your roads don't suck!
 
My old setup consisted of 3" BT springs and 2" mcg 16" spindles. There's a writeup for the spindle. Rear was DJM flip, notch, and shackles. Didnt sit 8"due to the shocks being for a 4" drop. Rode good to me, very little bumpsteer and also raise your transmission xmember and y-pipe. Was always fun to scrape and people's faces. Oh and tires are perfect for that drop. Might have to notch your bed for the pumpkin but it's not a lot to cut out. Hope that helps.

Just do a flip kit in the back which gives it 6 inches with stock hangers and 1 inches drop shackle

what he said ^

add some helpers and youre good to go. I run 2" McG 17s and 3" McG springs but slapped a 1" spacer in there for a 4" drop. Rear is flip kit and helpers. on 275/40/20 up front and I rub the upper fender when the suspension compresses a lot, but Im a crew cab so its heavier. Should be fine on a rcsb with 5" up front
 
Wondering if I could get some help.

Have an 05 sierra 1500, 2wd, 4dr short bed.

Wanting to do a 3/5 on it. But I have some doubts it'll work with the 305/75/22 rims I have. Any insight on this. Also if ya'll have suggestions on kits or brands would be best?
