Drop finished!

Since I changed to the higher setting on hanger the ride quality improved drastically. Here are some pics. Go to my album if you'd like to see them in a larger form.

Looks great!

When you had your leafs in the other hole in the hanger, how close was the axle to the bump stops?? My ride was VERY bumpy until I switched to shorter bump stops. Could be the cause of your ride quality problem.

I cut 1/2" off the front bump stops and 50% off the rear.

Belltech springs (4804's) Eibach hangers on highest setting of the two w/ factory shackles.
Keep in mind that you'll have to install the 6 Deg. shims if you
go w/ hangers. Shims come w/ the kit.
Hanger install is no fun. I beieve install price is roughly 250.00
Let them do it for that price.

Mine was still bottoming out hard with the leafs in the top hole, so I notched the bastard. Works great, rides smooth and has yet to even come close to bottoming out! Your truck looks good with the slight rake
