Lowered Lariat on 22's (McGaughys)

Got the truck lowered last weekend using the McGaughy's kit. I must be getting old or something....I hated the look. Too low in the back. The front looked good , but I think that this truck needs to have a little rake to sit right.
Went to the hobby shop yesterday to remove the kit. I installed Ground force Shackles in the rear and will finish the front on Saturday. Since I had to drop the exhaust to get the pass. side spring off I replaced it with the Borla split rear catback. Nice exhaust, but if I had to do it again I would have a shop bend one up and save a few bucks.
Here's a few pics........

Oh yeah, the kit will be for sale when I finish the front. Only about 30 miles on it. Make me an offer.......

I love the low look of the truck - with the tonneau cover, looks very clean...

Very nice combo with the wheels as well... Now all you need to do is fuse the bed with the cab and mount some (4) 15" subs in the bed with about 2000 - 3000 watts worth of Amplifiers. Then have an automatic tailgate control to provide a quick view of the subs when they are kicking..

Sorry for rambling - looking at the truck just got me all excited as to what I would put in it.

I think it looks great. How much did the kit actually lower the truck?

For those that have this kit, how is the ride quality?

Let me know how much you want for the kit Jimbo. I am definitely interested. Can you please email me when you get a chance? Thanks.

Nice rims man, where did you get them and what kind are they? I'm in the market for some rims but was told not to get 22's because of the ride quality. How rough is your ride?
