Looks really good just like that. I wouldn't go any lower, but thats just me. It has a sporty performance stance look.

It will look lower when you add the ground effects. At least level the rear by then and see if you want to go lower or not.

What drop do you have? I'm contemplating on drop brands and 2/4 or 3/5 for my 06 screw.

Why does the pic in your sig have ground effects, fender vents already and the top pic doesn't? Are you building an identical truck? Whats with the "coming soon" Just curious, thats all. I don't think you need to go any lower, it looks good now

I say leave it. It's got a nice sporty look but it's not so low that it looks like you've got a top speed on 35 on a normal road.

If you want to go lower, get airbags and a custom suspension. Get that laid frame look and still be able to drive the truck.

Looks good like it is.

Styx, I think your truck has the perfect stance, but that's just me. Let your conscience be your guide.

I would just drop the back another inch. I have the Eibach 2/4 drop and I want to drop the back of mine another inch to make it level.

I like a little rake to a truck. I am considering a 1.5 leveling kit so I have some rake, just dont want quite as much as I have. Dont want the bumper lower in the back when I am actually using the truck for something.

Back to the original post: Whats your ground clearance at the frame?
