Looks great...
What kit did you get,  what size wheels, back spacing etc?

[willi2ds]

Thanks, It's DJM 3" spindle, 2" coils and a flip kit out back.
I hope the front settles a bit I'ts only down 3 1/2"-4"in front. I got 6 1/2" in back.
The wheels are American Racing Novas 17x8's w/ 4 1/2" backspace
I traded the stock rallies straight across for them. I wish the rears were a little wider though.

On mine, I cut 2" off the bottom pigtail of the coil spring at a time until it sat exactly the way I wanted it.

Give it some time to settle, though, before you begin cutting.

thanks for posting those. I was expecting it to be lower when I was putting together different combinations of drop parts. but that is right about where I would want my truck to be. you made my decision pretty easy now, thanks.

[willi2ds]

Lol... me too
I'm actually pretty happy with it, the front actually only gave me
a 4 1/2" drop. I don't know if they'll settle anymore or not, they've got like 600 miles on them now.
 For appearance I'd like it a little lower, but for drivability it's just about right.
Lowest point is the lower control arms at 4 1/2", the engine cross member is right at 6".

Did you notch the frame out back?

[willi2ds]

Not yet, I definitely want too though.
It's not too bad just cruising around, every once in awhile I'll hit a bump that'll get my attention lol, especially if there's much weight in the back. But it's definitely tolerable.
