New drop...

Yesterday with a huge amount of help from my friend and board member biohazardbill, we put a complete 4-6 drop from ECE on my truck here are before and after pics.





Thanks for looking.

Re: New drop...

For those asking about rims and tires. The wheels are Grey Ridler 695's in 18x8 front and 18x9.5 in the rear. I don't know what the backspace is but the offset is 0 for front and +6 for the rear. Tires are Hankook Ventus 235/55r18 on the front and 255/55r18 on the rear.

thanks for all the compliments. I am loving the look and the improved ride.

Re: New drop...

That looks good. And I must say thank you. You've helped me determine what drop I want for my truck. It's already lowered, but I never knew by how much.

Looked good before but it looks much better now. I'd say it drives a lot better too.
