No, I do not plan on lowering it becuase I do too much hunting in the fall.

i'd do it. i went to the Monsters at the Beach show a few weeks back here in VB. there were trucks that weren't half as nice as yours there. some of them looked like they bought every accessory from Vato Zone and thought they had some bad *** truck.

Your only cost for lowering the rear 2" would be new U-bolts. I think it'd look awesome for "show purposes". You could return to stock for hunting season.

Just a thought.

Yeah they didnt win, but at least they took pride in their truck. So yeah, enter your truck.
That is correct go show and have a great time. The best advice I can give you is go in with no hopes or expectations other than enjoying yourself and clean clean clean that truck.

If someone would give me some documentation on how to do this and what kind/size U-bolts I would think about doing this just for the show.

go to the show they are a blast! Mine has been in a few, so has JGG's truck. nothing to lose at all, and the best part is you get to watch others drool over your rig!

If you would have read what I said earlier I cannot lower it! I do way to much offoading and towing in the fall when hunting with my other set of wheels/tires.

Go for it. You have a nice looking truck.

I remember going to the Carlisle All-Ford Weekend a few years back and taking my Mustang but not entering it. As I was walking around I felt like a fool for not entering it.
