Belltech 3" springs in the front, and DJM flip kit for 6" in the back...

I think the front is a little higher than the rear. But I am hoping maybe the springs settle down or something...

It is hard to see in pictures, but when actually looking at the truck it is slightly noticeable.. If it doesn't settle down, I'm thinking of removing the rubber spring isolator thing and then just putting some rubber hose on the spring... Should lower another 0.5"

That looks really good but the only thing is you are going to have alignment issues all the time. These trucks dont like anything more then 2" front drops for some reason but if its not a daily driver then you got nothing to worry about.

$327.97 shipped from stylintrucks.com. Right now it still has stock shocks, but I'll be replacing them soon.

It is a daily driver that doesn't get daily driven..hah, a year old and just hit 5700 miles. I've been driving it all day and it still tracks straight, no weaving to one side or anything. It does have little bit of negative camber but I'm not worried about it.

It might be awhile before I do wheels..... I kind of like the stock 18s. Usually all my money goes towards my 2002 Z28, but I decided to put a few bucks into the truck.

Nice F150 and Camaro.

I'm glad you took the side steps off. It always looks weird when someone drops the truck and leaves those on.
