Very very nice. Just not a fan of lowered trucks. This looks great!

Thanks Ted.

Still trying to get used to it all over again.

Thanks. I’m a very simple man.

As for height, the door sill is just a smidge above my knee.

I'm 5’11.

Step bars are on the way. Lol

And here I am wanting to do the opposite. Lol
after having the truck lifted for 15 years it's time for a change.
I still use the truck as a truck and will continue to do so even when its lowered.
truck looks good btw
oh yeah, even with 12" of lift and 40" tires I never ran steps. Real men jump into the truck
haha

I would never do anything but the AMP Research power steps ever again. Absolutely love them.

6" lift with 35's. I never had a problem getting in without them, but I will say it is so much more convenient to get in with them. The side bolster on the drivers seat will last longer for sure than squishing it on sliding in and out.

I like both the lowered and lifted trucks. I did the 4/6 drop on my truck in 2005 mostly for the hotrod looking stance. I was quite surprised (still am today) how hard I could drive the truck into turns without pushing and braking traction with the front tires. I've owned a couple f-bodies (2nd gen T/A's) and the handling is very very similar in the rcsb dropped trucks. It's a rush throwing these heavy trucks into a turn and having them stick!

For anyone wondering,

To get my Hellwig 7800 rear sway bar to mount level, I had to use 7961 endlinks.

Here’s another shot with my Lund step bars on. I need to loosen them up and move them out but for sub $150 from @Summitracing they're nice.

Looking good. Those step bars fit the bill for the build of the truck. They don't put a hurting on the wallet either.
