That looks awesome.  My truck has that same stance(the one with spindles only) right now.  I'm about to cut a full coil off the springs...well actually my neighbor is going to do it because I don't want to kill myself trying to remove/install the springs. Anyway, nice truck, I think it would look even better with some bigger tires in the back.

Looks great!  I wondering how many inches drop in the front and rear?

Welcome from East, Texas
thanks man, it's got 2.5" ground force drop spindles and heated springs in the front (5.5") and a belltech flip kit in the rear(6")

You're welcome man, that's a lot lower... I had like yours when I bought her last 2 years ago and drove her back to home.... it's really hurting my chest and on the lower back spines and muscles bad while my Truck running very hard shaking. The previous owner didn't do the right job on her... My friends and I took 2 front coils (that had been cutted coils off halfway by previous owner) off and rearend (came from a car, lol!) off my Truck and replaced all original stock parts back together came from a 1983 Silverado SWB 2WD, she does runs smoother well but it's a bit higher that I can't see well while I'm driving because of height. My height is 5' 6" and I'm too old for lowered vehicles but I'll lower mine 2" drop coil spring sets in the front and 2" in the rear spring shackels and get new performance shorter shocks for me when I'm finish to restore her, that'll helps me more comfortable to driving and painless on my back. Hotrodpc were right about that, sorry... but yours will be fine riding on the smooth streets and roads or at the Car Shows only I think.
