Looks great !!!

BTW, what suspension parts/kit did you use to lower your vehicle? I'm curious, because it looks exactly like what I want my new (to me) vehicle to look like.

Yeah, please do tell what kit you used, where you get it from and how hard was it to do? What kinda tools or work did you have to do with installing it? Truck looks really good!

Look good, but IMO would look even better with some Saleen wheels.

Thanks everyone!

The drop is 2" GF shackles and a 2/3 Eibach kit, for a total 2/5. The drop wasn't very hard to do, just takes some time and patience. This was the first time I've done something like this. The only special tool you need is a spring compressor.

Those are Roush 22" wheels and I believe they came on the Nitemare. I really like the Roush wheels because they don't seem to be too common. I'm not a huge fan of the 23" Saleens or black wheels. They look good on the right trucks but mine isn't one of them.

Oh ok wow yeah looks good, I have the 2 inch GF shackles already, so adding the 2/3 with them already on isnt an issue I guess? I installed the shackles with the shims, I know the front drop is springs.. but what lowers the rear down 3 inches? Id like to do that possibly. Was thinkin of lifting but dunno now.

Yeah the wheels look good sorry to say but saleen wheels are getting played out and Harley wheels will be right behind them soon. Why be a follower?

I've seen only three sets of 08 HD 22's on here, mine included. I've seen none on the road in the entire DFW Metroplex. Definitely not played out.
