3" springs up front djm 3" drop spindles (soon to be changed to cpp modular for big brakes). Lca moved forward an inch energy susp bushings. Qa1 adjustable ball joints. A useless djm flip kit with shock extenders and a 1-2 lowering shackle in back.

Re: Feel like I'm finally cool enough -6-8 drop

Yah hopefully I can get all the bugs fixed before the swap meet. The rear is loose as sin since djm doesn't know how to make a flip kit anymore I guess. The flip bracket is to short and won't sit all the way under the leaf pad on top. So every time it goes into gear it slides my pinion angle up or down a good 5*

Your truck was already cool enough IMO. Nice improvement with the drop.

Re: Feel like I'm finally cool enough -6-8 drop

Dear god this thing grips the corners! And it's not even aligned! The caster mod and one ton sway bar do wonders. Not to mention qa1 ball joints and urethane bushings help

For those that may wonder what the caster mod is take the shafts on your lca (lower control arm) and drill them to move the lca forward 3/4 to 1" inch I did with some layout die and an 11/16 jobber bit. This should net you 7*+ neg caster which is great for anti dive and turn in and camber gain in a corner. Some trimming of the crossmember and/or bushing sleeve will be required also get rid of your stock upper ball joints. The only move in one direction! In and out and Hardly back and forth so these can bind easily.
Some pics of the control arm moved forward
