Thumbs up

Chris:
Pics look awesome. Nice looking lowering. I would like to lower mine sometime in the future and wondered which kit to get. I am undecided between a 2/3 kit, a 3/4 kit, or a 3/5 kit. My goal is moderately lower and as close to level as possible. If there is a difference, I would prefer a slight rake from back to front (slightly higher in back). It looks as though your 3/5 kit is a little lower in back than front. Is this true and do you like it?

Cool

I really like the kit a lot. The ride is actually a little better in most situations. Less bounce. It does want to bottom out If I hit a hard bump going way to fast. I think it is just a tad lower in the back, but very close to level. It is sitting on a slanted driveway here, plus I have the extra weight of the ARE cover. I will probably go another inch in the front when I get new rims and tires.

This is the western chassis kit. It was 550 bucks total for springs, shackles, hangers, front end cam bolts, poly bumpstops, and Doestch Tech shocks. I ordered it from Sport Truck Direct out of Truckin' Magazine. Also, I could rase the back end because I am using the lowest settings on both the shackles and hangers to get the 5 inch drop. You could also get the same drop by using a flip kit like cableguy did and then a 1 inch raising shackle.

Good luck
