Front 4.5"
DJM 2.5 arms
Belltech 2" spindles

Rear 8"
DJM flip
2" shackles
3" notch

rides like stock, way too soft though, no bottoming out, very minimal tire rubbing, bending in the fender lip will fix. if it were stiffer i would go another inch

oem replacment shocks from napa in the front, and ground force air shocks in the rear, they are made for a 5" drop and has a helper bag type of sleeve on it, and they are only about $50 on amazon

Just noticed a spot where my tires have rubbed on the bed inside wheel well, while doing my rear brakes yesterday....not an issue at all but just to inform people, with a 3" notch my 29.8" tall tires hit my bed before the axle hits the frame.

I had a similar issue when i was running the 285/35. The only difference is i was rubbing on one side only. For some reason the axle was offset to the dr side by 1/4". I said something to the dealership and they said they had seen it before and have had no problems ......yet.

No mine were hitting the top of the tub not on the side

Did some towing this weekend



and here shows the air assist shocks (groundforce 70064)

Passenger side up


Passenger side down


Driver side down


Driver side up


Need to figure out why my truck is not sitting level in the rear...

Also need to pick up a spare tire from a Navigator since the ones that came with oem 20's have a 20" spare as well. That way I would have a spare to fit with the drop spindles. Also need a 255/50/20 tire to have (close to) the same diameter as my 22's and same width as my current spare so I can still (barely) fit on curbs
