Lowering kit

Needless to say it was not a comfortable ride. I am far happier with my current setup of stock height front springs, 2.5" spindles and 4" ECE rear springs. The ECE springs are a stiffer spring rate than the CPP's.

I've still got some distance to the bump stops but I guess it wouldn't hurt to cut an inch or so of them off. Truck rides really good and stiff but my former shocks were totally shot so anything new would feel better. I wanted to buy all these components elsewhere but POL had everything in stock or at least that's what I thought because they had it all for sale on Ebay. Lo and behold I got everything right away but the rear spring cups were back ordered so that took 6 weeks to get here. Held up the whole project. I just assumed that since they were on sale on Ebay that they would be in stock. Silly me!!!!!
