Finally got done with my drop...pics inside
So after a few weeks of "wrong" parts...waiting on fedex...and other stuff.
Finally got my truck done last night, took it to get alignment today. Even after cutting about 1/4 coil on the belltech springs, looks like I gotta cut a little more. Maybe in a few weeks... I'll get some better pics later, had to snap these real quick as soon as I got home from alignment, it's getting dark already... Let me know what you think. before:   After

Re: Finally got done with my drop...pics inside
Yeah I love it the way it sits. With all the work you've put in it my lazy butt wouldn't touch it. I could come and visit and show you how to just wash it and ride it.

Re: Finally got done with my drop...pics inside
Damn, it looks so much better now. Taking off those bedrails made a huge difference. Great rim choice too.

Re: Finally got done with my drop...pics inside
Very very nice.
I like the drop on it. Drop and wheels really set it off. Where did you order parts from.... Any issues with the installs? |

Re: Finally got done with my drop...pics inside

on a side note, after I got alignment done...I noticed they had gouged the lip of my wheels. I was "off the hook", so to speak. Anyway, long story short, I'll be getting some new wheels.  The only problem I ran into was the spring plate and the shock mount really close. I took the spring plate to my bench grinder, just the right width, notched a little bit, and fits like a glove. And if you are using drop shocks, don't use the shock relocators...  Just an FYI, or you will be taking everything off the rear, and reassembling without them...DOH! First off, the drop shocks are too short w/ shock relocators, second off the shock relocator on my kit...is actually too wide for the shock, you could "bend" it I guess, but looks like, well, you bent it...

Re: Finally got done with my drop...pics inside
That looks GREAT... it will look even better after you drop the front 1"+ more
. I am glad to see that you removed the bed rails as well... nicely done!

I also agree with on lowering it a bit more. I think if you can get the wheel closer to tuckin', then you'll have the stance dialed in. Now do a good burnout to get rid of that sticker on the tire thread... j/k

Re: Finally got done with my drop...pics inside
That looks good! Have you considered removing those chip guards from the front of the wheelwells. I removed mine and it looks MUCH better.
