Lowered w/ info pics thread

I'd like to see a thread with pics of static dropped trucks, no bags, with a list of parts/companies used, and tire sizes. This should give others an idea of how much drop to expect from which components, or what to use for a desired drop. If a thread like this already exists please direct me there, and feel free to delete this one. I did a search, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks, I figured there had to be one somewhere. I searched everything BUT static drop.

There's lots more, kind of scan the forums and you'll find a bunch more.
Good luck.

Re: Lowered w/ info pics thread

In the front, I cut two coils. In the rear, I used Jeep Wrangler TJ rear coils and 4" blocks. Tires are 235/75/15. I used new 4" longer Ubolts I had custom made at a tractor trailer shop. I would also recommend shaving the bumpstop brackets on the lower control arm to give more travel up front along with trimming the bumpstops in the rear. You can't really go any lower than this without a notch in the back and/or a Z up front.
