Yeah, I was expecting the truck to lower down, its the miss match of ride height that I was concerned about. My frontend is much higher than the rear now. I understand now that a 2 inch drop spindle kit might get me the stance I need to bring down the frontend. I am planning on removing the rear rubber bump stops and replacing them with something thinner.



I was wondering........what brand of air shocks are you running? I would be interested in a part number.
