Here's a little help on the 20's view. I just put my Belltech 2/4 drop and added 20's over Christmas.... I chose this pick b/c the sunlight hits the wells and it shows the spacing.

You're ride .....very nice. I like the NNBS when they're dropped, they show good street appeal. Here's one that we had at a local meet that may give you a little better view.

That sure looks nice!

It looks like your truck is a 4wd (Z71), true?

How hard are the spindles to install? How are those rear shocks? Are they any good?

I think that I may need to invest in the Ground force stuff.

Where did you buy the parts?

Im kinda liking the stance even though its not slammed like the 4/7 guys on here. However, I kinda hate to mess with it because the damn thing rides great.
I think thats how they should look from the factory.
Looks nice!!

No it was a Z71 2wd believe it or not, but the kit I have works for 2wd or 4wd. I got the kit from www.autoanything.com, they had a sale plus free shipping. I hate to think what shipping would have cost..the leafs were 64lbs each and the main box with coils/spindles/shocks was 120lbs. The spindles are easy to install. The stock spindles have a flat spot for the upper/lower/tie rod so all you have to do is loosen the nut and wahck it a couple times on the flat with a hammer and they popped right off. They are just unbolt and bolt on new...nothing more.

The shocks are gas shocks and ride great, not too soft and not too firm. I had it on the freeway today up to 90mph and it rode true and smooth...Im totally satisfied. Now if I could just get together with charlie wheatley I will be all set

thanks Derek
