Jeff, Your truck looks great! How much did you lower the truck and what tires are you running?

Front drop has Bell Tech 3" drop spindles and Bell Tech 1" drop coils with an additional 1/2 coil removed, rear is a Western Chassis flip kit and 2" Bell Tech shackles. I also removed the overload spring from each leaf pack. Wheels are Weld Pro Stars, 15X7 with 225/70/R15 up front, 15x10 with 275/60/R15 in back.

Did you relocate the bed closer to the cab? BTW - Thanks for the 6x9 brackets. I should be installing them within the next 2 weeks. I'll post pics. Take it easy man - Enjoy that dropped SWB - It's a work of art.

Nope, bed was not moved closer, I did try to make sure the cab was all the way back and bed all the way forward when bolting the body down, but I don't think that made any difference.

You really nailed it. Just the right amount of stuff shaved for it to look streamlined without overdoing it.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
