That looks great. What drop parts are you using for the static drops you have done on your past trucks? I know I can do spindles and coils up front and a flip kit out back. Looking for recommendations on best parts and pricing.

I've lowered them a few different ways with several different brands but I've found 2 combinations I really like.

4-5" drop: 2-1/2 drop spindle (McGaughty's) / Moog #6454 new coil spring with 1 full round removed 1-1/2" drop / DJM rear flip kit with shock relocation brackets 5-5-1/2" drop / new 5/8 u-bolts / stock length shocks of choice / all from Summit Racing except u-bolts. $450-$500 245/40 or 45 & 275/45 tires

5-6" drop: 2-1/2 drop spindle (McGaughty's) / 1 full round off stock springs in the truck now ( 2" drop plus 1/2" sag) / DJM rear flip kit with shock relocation brackets 5-5-1/2" drop / 1/2-1" lowering block / new 5/8 u-bolts / stock length shocks of choice / all from Summit Racing except u-bolts. $400-$450 245/40 or 255/35 & 275/45 tires
