Just lowered my Screw with Bell Tech 3/4 Drop
Well to make a long story short it was a long day lowering my truck and i had all the proper tools I started about 12 noon and finished about 2 am. The hangers in the rear are a b**ch to get off. If you dont have a very stong air chisel then good luck. Second bad thing on the back was the leaf spring pack center bolt they are a pain to get off. third for the back was the lack of spelled out instruction for the shim placement I knew where and how to put it but when going together the u bolts were to short. I ended up having to remove the small factory shim to get the u bolt to be long enough. all seems well so far. I also replaced all the shocks with Bell Tech nitro active shocks. It looks great and handles a lot better also. the only other gripe i have is that the kit didnt come with a smaller bump stop for the front like the rear as i had to cut some of the front one off due to it touching the lower control arm. but the ride is great. Not harsh at all.

well to answer your question about the wheels I ordered the wheels and the kit at the same time the wheels will probally be a couple more weeks from budnik. I ordered the 20 x 8.5 with the fat lip option they should look like a 21 or 22 inch wheel as for rubbing they wont rub they are pretty much the exact same size as my factory tire about 6 tenths of an inch shorter actually and they will tuck inside the fenders. I went with the 275/45-20 tire.
