I read you put a pe lowering kit on the truck is that still what's keeping it low? If so what did they use in the front springs, spindles, or control arms? And if the pe kit isn't what's current what is?

Rear is stock shackles and hangers and remove middle leaf

Just dawned on me while I was driving to a meeting that pe customs was your own job when you read through 77 pages of stuff my mind got a little fuzzy to say the least but thanks for the info I've been trying to search and hunt down a track set up that works on a lowered truck so besides that all you ha was shocks and smith bars right?

PE Customz was just a joke between a few friends. Not a job, but a lifestyle lol

This setup works really well. I've been 1.5x to the 60' and my buddy has been like 1.53 or something like that on stock shocks with caltrac bars.

I use rancho adjustable shocks but a set of worn out stock shocks works just as well.

Awesome thanks again I didn't want to try to reinvent the wheel here I'm only looking for my truck to get down around an 11.5 so nothing spectacular

I was hoping to get a favor out of you. Could you get a hub to fender lip measurement on the rear of your truck? Wondering how my shackles, hangers, and overload delete sit compared to yours. I was looking into assassin bars and I'm not sure they'll fit with my hangers. Be nice if your middle leaf delete and stock shackles/hangers sat lower than mine.

Thank you good sir. I reckon helper bags are mandatory for any hauling with one spring, but that's not an issue.
