I think your truck is one of the 5 best looking trucks on the site! What else can you really do to your exterior? I'm sure you still have a few plans right? Time to move on to engine mods no?
How you feeling the 2/4 drop and what brand did you got with? I had a 2/4 but raised it back up because I was bouncing too much and destroying my wells...Rode like absolute
. Was told it was because I still had the stock tires on the truck but I liked the look.

The drop is a little bit bumpier and stiffer than stock, but I expected that and have no complaints. Its mostly because of Arkansas shity roads! When I am on smooth roadway...feels good!

Oh and if you remember I was worried about my 285/50/20's rubbing...no worries! No rubbing! Plenty of room! HERE WE GO!!!!

Anyways, nice truck!!

Well, I have driven it a few days now and I can't say I feel any vibration (hard to tell with Arkansas rough roads!) but I have noticed a lag in acceleration. From a stop I press on the gas and it lags just a bit then starts moving. Its like it feels heavier?! Any experience with this? Is it because of alignment (which I am getting fixed today)? Thanks guys!

Did you swap wheels and tires also? Maybe the new ones are heavier? Also, the alignment is definitely gonna be off, so the truck may be fighting against the front tires which might be toed out.
