Ha, oh no! it's more like a 5/7...the back still needs to be lowered about an inch...just to be level.

The biggest problem right now...is I have stock 85,000 mile stocks and they are compressed all the way at ride height. Also, apparently everyone thinks I'm crazy for not c-notching my frame...but I'm just not going to do that.

So definitely upgrade your shocks!

Also, no one flame me for this or talk crap.. I don't care to hear it. The reason I didn't buy shocks yet is because I took the cheap way out on my truck. The front drop is from cutting the springs..and the rear is of course a flip kit and drop shackles.

So I've spent right around $125 to lower my truck. And honestly, the ride isn't that much worse than stock.
