16" is not enough rim for a street truck IMO.

I wouldnt lower a truck especially if I used it to tow. it will look extremely loaded down with a 2/4 and a decent weight behind it.

5.9? 5.2? exhaust = #1 mod

I use to own a 99 silverado 2WD single cab stepside. I had it lowered 2/4 with some 16" wheels and it looked really good. I also had a zr1 rollpan and hidden hitch. Anyway, it did sag a little when towing heavy so i added some airbags in the rear. Fairly easy fix for the towing problem with a drop kit.

Mine tows just fine lowered 2/4 and does not sag anymore then a normal truck under weight.
I like my 20s but i wish i would have just went with 18s instead, i think 18s are a real good size wheel in the looks department. but my 20s do pop out at yeah..
