no,not at all. IMO these generation of trucks are the closest thing to the perfect fullsize thats been sold. when i worked at GM i would regularly see them come in with over 100k with the factory brakes still on and they had plenty of pad. the only common issues i've seen are the steering shafts clunk,and the hvac gets confused at times. hell GM doesn't even recommend checking the factory air filter until 50k miles

Word. I have an 04 with 75K, and the only major thing replaced has been wheel bearings, and an inner tie rod. Only other issues I have had are maintenance items like brakes, and changing fluids.

If you go any lower than 4" in the rear, you might want to get a 2pc driveshaft, cuz it will rub.

Hit up GMFullsize.com
negative on that driveshaft info homie, i have about 7 inches of drop on my 06 crew cab and the driveshaft is fine, u will need to notch the frame in the rear before u will have to worry about ur driveshaft
