All in all this is one sharp truck! Where did you get the goodyear tires in a 295?
thanks a lot man. i wasnt going for a flashy look when i started working on my truck. just a stockish look. as far as doing anything differant? i would notch my rear first and just save myself the time. by the way, the rear is dropped with a flip and shackle setup. the scrapping up front is just some thing i deal with now, mainly around my apartment complex, there are speed bumps everywhere. but in case you were wondering, i used 2.5'' ground force coils and 2'' drop springs. and i got these tires about 2 and a half years ago when i had on my cragars. i got them at discount tire. but as far as i know, they dont make them any more

Re: sittin lower!

the first pics i posted were with the 3''spring. i installed the front 2''springs when i lowered the rear. there was a bit to much of a rake for me.
