I’ve done a bit of research on this and I see that many of you as well as myself are not too fond of the rake angle on the stock truck. I’ve seen a number approaches to lowering the truck but which method is the most cost effective in achieving the street truck look? I’m pushing towards ordering the belltech 25001 struts while keeping everything else stock for the rear. If I do this, what’s the best tire and wheel size for filling the gap up some more?

I would love to do the icon lowering kit but I can’t bring myself to drop $7k and then have to buy wheels and tires on top.

good luck. One of the few complaints I have about my Lariat is that it sits about 4" higher than my 10yr old Chevy Avalanche. Sure glad I bought running boards as it would be very uncomfortable to get in without them. (and I'm 6ft tall)
