^ that looks awesome! Similar to mine it looks, just a touch high in the front? Or is it level? Hard to tell by the angle of the pics

305/50/20's in that picture. I also fit 305/55/20's at that ride height with no rubbing.

Dealership. They're pretty cheap. There are different weight ratings in those springs. I had 4400 lbs springs up front and it was somewhere between 2-3" total drop in the front.

Dustin's truck..Oprah used to be dropped. I know he's still got some pics of it.

Go through sunrise. Or i might sell mine. Just bought them but am not sure if i want to use them now

finally got the front of mine lowered today. cut one coil off my spare set to see how it would sit. Rear is stock springs with block removed. I like the way its sitting now just slightly higher in the back. 20x10 wheels with 305/50 420s

Looks good. Sits like mine.

Thanks. Debating if I want to drop the back more and maybe even cut another half coil on the front. Would have to modify the bumpstops though because right now its maybe 1/4" off them

Daystar makes some low profile ones I am thinking about getting. They should bolt in the stock location. I have the overload out in the rear. But have a 1.5" block for my traction bars.

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

those look like they might work. It isn't as bad as I thought it would be but it is pretty much riding on the stops. it actually handles a ton better and over small bumps it really isn't bad at all.

Does anyone have or no of one that is lowered with ranch hand style bumpers I am thinking about doing the with my truck just don't want to loose the bumpers on my truck because I have a problem with deer LOL

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

Do it!

maybe pull the overloads or something... I like the little bit of rake it has now but it can definitely go lower!

Pull the overload. Cut the coils again. Trim one full nub off your bumpstops. Add a set of helper bags out back for when you tow and ditch the side steps. Done

maybe half a coil and no over load. planning on getting bags anyways and side steps are coming off asap. Just got my traction bars on today and the steps block the custom logos on the bars so steps have to go

Awesome man. Bags are nice to have for towing with the overloads pulled. I dig the truck

May have missed it but Is this the 4800lb spring cut or 4400lb?

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

Pretty sure he cut stock coils.
