Welp, it's happening...

Owned my truck since 08 and I'm finally going to lower it. I went ahead and ordered some Belltech lowering struts and 3" drop leafs today. It already has Ground Force lowering shackles, so my total is going to be a 2/5 inch drop. Anyone use this same setup on your 04-08? Just want to make sure that the back doesn't end up lower than the front, can't stand that look.

Parts ran me about $560 and a local shop I always use is putting it all together and aligning it for $300.

This is how it sits now...

I think that wraps up everything I want to do to her, until the 4.6 blows. Then I'll have to change my name to 5.4 Punisher!

Does it sit level? 3/5 should be level. What leafs did you get Groundforce or Eibach?

Edit, nevermind, I should know better, Flaresides sit higher in the rear....

Looks good
