dropped my truck a little bit today

2.5" spindles in the front. 2" shackles in the rear. front: 245/60/15 rear: 275/60/15. It sits a little high in the rear but I think it looks good with this rake

before and after

Looks good. You will probably want it lower after a little bit of time. I did a similar drop and want it to be lower now.

Re: dropped my truck a little bit today

it actually doesnt look bad at all. Maybe take out a leaf or two or add 2" rear drop spring hangers....but if you like it that way...roll with it

Ya a lil lower, LOL. Serously, it all depends on how you are going to use the truck. Either way just enjoy it.

HAH. If I didn't drive it daily, or tow a boat, I would seriously consider a nice static drop

That's what I'm debating... How low can I go and still tow a camper?
