Went a little lower
 
After a couple of years, I finally decided to lower my truck a little more. It was subtle, but has the stance I was wanting. Also went to a larger sway bar in front and added one in the back. Mainly had to do this to take out body roll to help prevent the rear tires from rubbing. It is a tight fit in the back! Truck is at the muffler shop to move the mufflers and pipes over to clear the drive line more. The first pic is one from before and the next are with it lowered. was only about 1.5" lower than it was.

VERY nice truck!
Do you have an adjustable track bar on the rear?

Hope so, looks like it was too long in the first pic, lowering it more would have only pushed it farther out the passenger side.

Yes, I have an adjustable track bar. The rear end had to be perfectly centered to prevent rubbing on the inside. I still need to go out and run it hard to make sure it doesn't.

It started with 3" lowered springs in the rear and 2.5" drop spindles in front. Added 2" springs in the front and 2" blocks to get it to where it's at now.

Wow, I don't have to wonder what it would have looked like if I had got a fleet side anymore!
