Very nice. I like the stance and especially the red rallys. Makes for a unique look.
Do you think heating the coils really provided 3" more drop? That seems like a lot.

You are going to end up hating those heated springs.  It is much better to actually cut them.
Typically they end up breaking in two.

This is how I know I am getting old. I think I liked it better the way you got it, although those ugly ass running boards had to go. I'd have taken those off, put some alloy wheels on it, and called it good. I guess I have just never been a fan of lowered trucks. For that matter, never really been into lowered cars either. Looks like you are doing a good job of what you are doing though. I assume you will be painting the truck red to match the wheels?
