Renzo, sounds like you're on the same track as me. I did about the same drop but I rebuilt me Autoride so I can tow a trailer so I didn't need the shock extenders. Belltech spindles and rear springs. 26" Dub rims and a lot of inner fender removal and just a bit of folding over of bodywork behind that and they still rub a tiny bit but only enough to make a slight noise when turning tight. DDU chrome powdercoated grill. Black led tail lights and 3rd brake light. 8000k HID projector lows and fogs, 6000k Cree projector driving lights since I can't find 8000k. 6 low/ 8 hi mod so they all come on when I turn the headlights on. And I did the DD conversion with a dash bezel out of a 2003 Denali and installed a backup cam while I was at it. Also painted quite a bit of the interior to fix the chipping problem. I think I'm done!

red rocket are those oem floor mats? if not can u link me to them?

I bought those with my carpet kit from www.stock interiors.com . They are very nice, I'm real happy with everything I bought from them. I think they were around $80-90 for the set of 4. And they don't need those obnoxious hold-downs the others have with the hooks you have to screw into your carpet. They rely on a perfect fit and grippy backing.

Renzo, why did you go to the 24's? Having clearance issues in the front? I have had to do a lot of modifying and still have some slight rubbing but its tolerable now. The last thing that happened was I hit some speed bumps fast, not thinking about straight up and down travel and the tires were just wide enough to hook the inside of the fenders at the top and pull the metal down . I have since rolled the metal in and drive slower...no more issues since. It didn't do any visible damage to the bodywork but cut the tires a bit. But man they look sweet. If I hadn't lowered it so much it wouldn't be an issue.

I had 305/30s n they were rubbing BAD. Ordered a set of chrome 2014 gmc reps from the yeti. Should be here in the next day or 2. Once I put those on ima go another 2 inches lower to close the gap. Goan order the DJM LCAs from Tony this wk. I'll post some pics when it's done. Also ordered some blk depo headlights n Hids for the head and fog lights.
