Dropped finally

Hey guys haven't been on here very much lately been busy working on my GM. Anyways we finally got the Girlfriends truck lowered using Belltech springs and lowering struts up front and out back we used a Belltech Flip kit.
Right now it sits at about 4/6 should be once I get my truck on the road it will be like 4/7. We also put on her wheels they are Giovanna Canelli with 275/30R24 Nitto Invo tire.

how did you like the lowering struts?

I'm thinking of going with the Belltech 3-5, struts and flip kit to save some money from the very expensive Eibach kit (over 1200 Canadian for a 2-4 drop).

does it ride well with 5-6 inches of drop in the back?

I like both the spring and strut it rides great up front. I paid like 800 bucks for it all with shipping to my door that includes the flip kit to.

Ya the toe is good right now the camber is still out pretty bad. I have to notch the lower control arm bolt holes to bring in the camber and then i will probably cut off about 1/2" of each inner tie rod end.

i am interested to know how hard that is going to be to cut the tie rod. i notched the bolt holes to the recomended length and still have 1 deg. negative camber with a 3" drop. but that 4/6 is getting me amped up for more drop!
