lowering kit
 
I have a 2005 silverado.. 2wd single cab and was looking at maybe lowering it about an inch.. and didnt know the best route to take on that.. can anyone help me out?

Lower the a$$ end to level it with the front end. I think that looks pretty good for your body style. At least thats my opinion. The easiest way would prolly be changing out the rear springs. Do a google search for lowering kits for 05 chevy truck, you'll have plenty of options from there. you could also do a spring under conversion on the rear. You'd need a good fabricator though.

the original owner has already done that i believe.. it sits pretty level.. but it doesnt look that good because i have bigger tires on the back than the front.. i like that look.. so i was actually gonna lower the front and rear about 1 inch..

Ah. I see. I know that look. Just google. I've heard good things about Eibach.

i was thinking about doing either a one inch front lift with new one inch lift springs. or lower the rear with a shackle flip. because instead of doing a spring over axle conversion its cheaper doing a shackle change. but i was thinking about those. if i were you. going only one inch. get an eibach lowering shackle kit. cheap. efficient. simple. but i am doing the same thing. bigger rear tires than fronts. ill need fatties in back to hold my twin 60mm turbos or single 96mm turbo hehe.
