Just got the new setup put on yesterday, here's the before and after...next up, to drop or not to drop? Debating a 2/3...any and all opinions welcomed!

Looks great!
What size tires?

Thanks a lot, I'm REALLY happy with how they ended up looking since I couldn't find any example pictures of them on my truck.

Rims are 22x9,tires are 285/45/22...

Same tires / size I plan on getting. I'm running 305/40/22 now and want something a bit smaller.
How is the ride and tire noise?

My winter tires are Blizzak's on the stock 20" that came on the truck, so that's all I really have to compare it to. The ride is definitely a little stiffer which I like. I've only had the Nitto's on for a few days now and the first time on the interstate today. They rode pretty quiet, especially compared to the Blizzaks :) I know there's quite a few on here that have the same tire and like it a lot...good people with good recommendations.

Thanks man! I couldn't find ANY pictures of them on so I was a little hesitant but they turned out nice

@ Felix do you have any drop on either of your rides being out in CO? I live in Rochester, NY and am a little concerned about dropping it with all the damn snow that we see...I'm sure it would look a little better but am questioning how smart a move it would be

I'm running the 305/40/22 Nitto nt420s tires too and frickin love em. Nope I'm running stock suspension on both. My fiancé drives my Esky and she won't approve the 2" rear drop I requested :/ I actually bought the CCM 2.5/1 leveling kit for my avalanche and have nitto terra grapplers on them so no drop of the avy but have been on the fence on installing it as I might sell it sooner then later and replace it with a Tahoe then put it on that. After reading numerous threads you have to do the free travel mod and buy several other parts when going with a 2/3 to really achieve the same ride quality as stock suspension.
