Lowered 04-05 reg cab short beds

I would like to lower my 05, not sure on how low. I havent seen any lowered 04-05s in to try and determine how low I would like to go.
Can I see all you lowered Reg Cab short bed, could you also include what components you used and what size wheel and tire combos you went with so you wont get any rubbing.

Thanks Guys

khendrix, NICE
Thats my truck, of course its not lowered yet. What came with the kit, coils, control arms, shackles, hangers. How does it handle. Wheres a good place to get a lowering kit for short $$$$. What shocks did you use?

Thanks for the pics and info

The djm kit uses your stock springs and front shocks. Different control arms and flip kit with shackles in the rear. 3.5/5 drop is what my truck has. I just put some 235/65/17 up front and 275/55/17 out back. They are a tad bit shorter tires then stock and look great and give the truck now IMO the right stance. I still wish the body could go lower a bit, but I sure dont want to do a body drop on it.

Smok][n I'm really diggin your truck.

HUH, I just realized it wasnt khendrixs truck.

FATHERFORD, Thats a sick truck. I agree about the tires, you definately got the right stance. How does it handle compared to stock. Being that low can you still use sway bars. Have you looked into new shocks like Bilsteins. Sorry for all the ?s.
Thanks for popping in and for the info, I appreciate it.
