sittin lower!
so after months of being back from deployment, i finally had a solid weekend to work on the truck! i really hated how my front was sitting so i through in my 2.5'' spindles . but it is too low now! haha, 5.5'' in the front is too much for a dd. so im will be swapping my 3'' for 2'' springs tomorrow, also bringing down the back tomorrow 1more''. what do you guys think?

Re: sittin lower!
Looks really good man. Are you rubbing up front or something?

Re: sittin lower!
The tire/fender gaps are perfect and you cleared that parking berm no problem. I say if it rides good and you don't bottom out too much on the inner fenders, run it. It looks killer as is.

Re: sittin lower!
thanks for all the comments fellas, i really appriciate it. to answer some questions: the tire sizes are 295/50 on the rear and 235/60 up front. no i do not run on the front fenders, i have about an inch of clearance. hmm, you guys got me thinking, ill mess with the back tomorrow and see how it sits, and if i like it. i might leave the front alone.

Re: sittin lower!
no i am not flipped, i have two leaves out and the rest of the pack was arched. it has a pretty stiff ride, but i already have a flip kit and some new leaf springs that i will be hooking up tomorrow. it is lowered 5'' in the rear as of right now. hopefully 6 by tomorrow.

Re: sittin lower!
I love the look. I want to do something similar with 10" rallys in back and 6.5" van rims up front. Still dunno if I want black letter or white letter tires though. Do the 10" wheels with 295s rub at all?

Re: sittin lower!
I don't think it's too low, but your never going to be happy with those 3" springs. They are too short to work right on these trck. Your better off with 3" spindle and 2" spring.

Re: sittin lower!
yeah no problem man. i paid around 155 for the 2 rear wheels including shipping.they dont match the stock truck rally, they are the vette style with the knock off caps.
