Re: What drop you think this is?

Ok. So if I want that look but an “okay” ride how would I get it? Would I need air? That’s two comments saying the ride must be terrible and I definitely don’t want that. It sure looks cool though.

Mine is lowered with two inch drop spindles, which also gives you disk brakes in the front, and 2 inch lowering springs when combined gives you 4 inch drop. The rear is lowered with 6 inch springs and the shocks have been relocated. Mine rides like a Cadillac. People say it will ride better if you you do 4 inch springs in the rear, and 2 inch blocks though.

Yeah. That’s exactly what I decided earlier. With the right amount of rubber I’m sure it’d ride great. Those saying it’ll ride rough I think it’s because the lack of sidewall?....not necessarily the lowering kit?

Yeah the 22s is the biggest factor for sure. Mine has 15 inch rally’s on it. But I can stand on the rear bumper and bounce the truck like it’s a Cadillac.
The cut coils and factory location shocks on the truck from eBay would hurt the ride pretty bad. With quality lowering components even with bigger wheels it should still ride really good even by today’s standards. My truck rides better than any other truck I’ve been in, modern two wheel drives don’t even compare.
