Do u have Z51 package? what shocks are u running? How many finger gap do u have between the tire and the fender?

I removed my front bolts and it didnt come down that far... I have 2 finger gap... Do u think i may have done something wrong/different?

Looks

Imo, I wouldnt go this far down if it were a daily driver.

I have less than 1 finger gap between tire and fender on all 4.

My front skirt drags on things in the road i dont even see.

Thanks for the compliments from everyone. Makes it all worth it.

Just lowered mine about 5 days ago on stock bolts on z51. Mine still looks 4x4 compared to yours, although it does look much better. Which I could get that low without cutting and removing bolts. Yours looks very .
