Looks good, is that stock height?

Thanks!

That's stock front & 2 leafs removed from the rear. I have a 1" drop shackle for the rear on the way. Should sit level once that's on.

I'm just not ready to slam it yet. Hard for a country boy to be driving one this low as it is.

Mine has a DJM kit on it and it rides like **** in the rear. I need to pull 2 leafs out but might have to add a block since I don't want it any lower. And the axle might hit the frame if I go any lower

Yours looks good like that, I would probably leave it based on those pics

Loosing 2 leafs will make it ride much better. I couldn't imagine how rough mine would be with a full leaf pack.

It's horrible, the bottom flat "over load" spring is gone but still has 4 leafs. I'll get around to it one of these days

Can someone please tell me how much to cut out of the stock driveshaft?

Or possibly give me a measurement of their new driveshaft from center of cap to cap (on U-Joint)?

Thanks in advance

Sorry it took me so long. I found my measurements. I actually posted them into my RCSB thread hoping it'd one day help others doing the same.

56 1/8" in length Was my total length for my one piece driveshaft.

I too have a djm kit and lost a total of 3 leafs total when I installed it. It rides so much better than it ever did and the truck doesn't sit a whole lot lower than before the extra 2 leafs came out. You can always bring the truck back up by moving up a spot on the shackle too.

Few things have happened since the new wheel setup. I took the shorty to a local car show/meet and got Top Ten car/truck of the show. Then last week I blacked the carpet out, so now the whole truck interior is black. Over the weekend I took the shorty to the Carlisle Truck Nationals event and placed 3rd in the Ford 2wd or Lowered Full Size Custom (All) class.

They are NRG Type-R seats, pretty lightweight and reclinable. I plan to replace them with the new Corbeau Trailcat seats.
