Want pics of SWB Trucks lowered 2/4 and 3/5

Trying to decide what stance I want, by the way I also have 15 inch wheels. Thanks

For the effort involved with shackles and hangers to get 4" drop in the rear I would go with a flip kit to get 5". That will get the rear wheels tucked a couple inches on a stepside. A 2" or 3" drop on the front will remove most of the space between the wheel and wheel opening. You might look at the Sport Truck Direct site, they have pics of each drop.

Here is a picture of my truck. Over all drop 4/5" with smaller tires and 2/4 kit. 2/4 kit will level the truck if I match the front tires with the rear. Right now the front tires are 245/60R15s and the rear 255/60R15's

Did you say that is a 4/5 drop? That is what I think I will end up at? How many leafs do you have in your rear springs? Any problems towing or hauling after a drop? Still wanna be able to haul some dirt/rocks and tow a 3000# boat.
