Yeah but i'm running on 17's so im already closer to the ground. I am stuck between the 2/4 3/5 but being on 17's and shorter tires and soon to be 28.9" tall i think a 2/4 will be my best bet!

I also have to say that going from 22's to 17's felt like 30-50hp increase. Plus I have pulled 25+ mpgs on freeway between 60-65. Im digging the smaller wheels!

I don't wanna have to worry about that! the payload is almost 2k lbs on my truck. I still wanna beable to throw half that back there if i needed too.

I have a 2/4 and love it.
mine actually measures out
front 1.875 drop
rear 3.75 drop
has a 1/2" rake and I can go over curbs and haul everything I want and not bat an eye

and its not slammed but you can tell its lowered

Wow I like it. Thanks for uploading pics. I think I might look into a kit myself. Which kit did you use?

I used Belltech street shocks, the fronts are ajustable and you can choose from -2 to +2 with 1/2" ajustments
the rear went with belltech shocks again and did Belltech shackles and removed block and then (you'll laugh) had a bed liner sprayed on and with the weight the total drop for the rear ended up being 3.75 inches
then with that done I chose my front drop, I coule go lower in the fron but I like where its at

So do I. Like you said it looks lowered, and looks good, but you've kept it useful as a "truck."

Good job!

so you didn't put new springs on there??

My truck already had bedliner and tonneau cover. I like the way your truck sits! Thats what im looking for.
