Anyone have pics of a 2 inch drop in front and 3 in rear?

I am looking to lower my truck. I was going to go with the 1 inch drop in front and 2 in the rear. Now I am thinking about a 2/3 drop. Does anyone have any pics of a 2/3 inch drop? If anyone has any pics of there lowered L's please post a pic with the drop number and who makes the kit.

Thanks

John

SO-CAL Speed Shop has a few pics of L's with their 2/3 drop:

They did the suspension on the truck that's on the TV show 'Titus' (also a 2/3 drop).

You might want to call Bill, I know he is going to be doing some suspension work this winter, so he may have some springs to sell? I think he has the same kit as Rich

So where do I get a complete setup? Does this effect load capacity and or towing ability? How is the ride?

Thanks again

John

The ride on the BellTech kit is good. Perhaps a bit soft in the front, but very comfortable. Not what you'd expect from such a drop.

Other than that, the look is awesome!

With a full 4" rear drop, hauling capacity is diminshed significantly. You're only a couple of inches off the bump stops at the most.

Also, with the full 4" drop, the back of the truck will be slightly lower than the front. Only by 1/2" - 3/4" though.

Set the shackles back up an inch, and you're level again and should be good for a few hundred pounds towing capacity.

Joe:
Grills look great. Good Job!
