I was'nt wanting to bag it.. Trying to get the right spring setup. I wanted it low as possible without flipping the axle and not having to take the inner fenders out....I finally got it...I think it is sitting just right now..

How is it lowered? That is the stance I'm lookin for on mine. Don't mind flippin the rear if needed just not wanting to spend the money on bags. Love the paint.

its the suburban conversion front clip.......................It is lowered with belltech spindles plus 2.5" lowering springs in the front...the rear has the belltech hanger shackle 4" drop plus a single monoleaf spring....Not stiff in the rear anymore...I had to put a half inch adapter in the front because when I turned the tire scraped the inner fender...any lower and the inner fender was coming out..

Thanks for the lowering info. Last question, promise. Are those 20's all around?
