How did you achieve your drop?

It is the exact drop I would want my truck to have.

If you're referring to the red L on my website, it's TampaSVT's truck. I think he lowered it with Bell Tech components, not sure about the drop amount.

I used 2" drop Bell Tech springs in the front and Hotchkis spring hangers in the rear for a total of a 2/3 drop. I didn't use shackles on the rear, it would have been too low and bottomed out.

I shortened my rear swaybar end links and bought shorter swaybar endlinks for the front and sliced the front bumpstops off in the middle to keep the front from bottoming out. Used Doetsch shocks.

Hey Tim with all these guys druling all over them selves does it remind you of like two yeas ago when the hOOters girls were fightnig over who got to stand in front of your truck for the group photo. Now those are the photos we should be looking at right now.

Nothing makes you feel better after you just spent $1,200.00 on your ride doing the first mods, then going to hOOters and Tim pulls up and noone notices your truck is even in the parking lot.
That was a great time we'll have to do it agian.

Here should be the link. http://www.nloc.net/forum/showthread...threadid=35537
