Is it just the pic or does the rear sit lower than the front?

The rear sits lower then the front once the suspension settles in I will see how it sits and go from there.

I'm about to lower my 99 Expo EB. Its a none air ride truck so I thought about using a Bell Tech 2WD set up, using the 3" drop rear coils and the dropped shock and then use their 2" drop torsion keys up front. Right now the truck is in the clouds and I don't know how much I'm going to get out of that.

Here is a photo of how high the truck is now. There is a good 10" of free air above the tires.

if you end up getting lowering keys, let me know how low it actually drops you from your stock keys uncranked, i put the chevy keys on, and i would really like to know which nets the most drop.

lol, its good, a bit bouncy up front cause i haven't changed the shocks yet, and on big bumps or dips, i hit the bumpstop on the lca's and that doesn't feel too good, but it's bearable. overall i'd say its 8 out of 10.

Well if I can get my Expo down that much I would be happy for now. Eventually I want to bag it, but thats no easy task with a 4x4.

yeah, i wish i could be bagged and retain my 4wd, but i don't think that is going to be an easy task. i am happy with the static drop i have now, now i just need to get a 5.4 in it.
