    Niiice - let us know how it rides - thinking about putting a different spring in mine and raising it up a little as it rides a little hard now (stock axle)

    Killer! Looks like I'll have a similar stance on mine after this weekend.

    My formula:

    -5.00 fronts
    -7.00 rears
    -Dropped '40 axle
    -Reversed front main leaf
    -1" rear drop shackles
    -Stock shocks all around


    Slightly different formulas, but I think they'll end up at about the same place.

    Thanks. The photos make it look more red than it does in person. I didn't paint it or otherwise it would be black.

    No tire clearance issues in the rear at all. In fact, there is still lots of travel in the rear.

    I removed the top two (small ones). I was really close to taking out 3 and I am glad I didn't. I am not sure yet on the axle to chasise clearance yet. Today was the first time I got to drive it, now I'll get back under it to make sure everything is tight etc.

    Excellent. Looks killer. Will settle even lower in about 12 months and will still have "the look."

    Thanks and to be honest, I drove it around stock for a while thinking the same. It definately drove better at stock height but the actual ride quality is not that much different. My only real complaint is that the front tires rub if you cut the wheels much so it makes it hard to manuever in some spots. I've learned it's not a problem as long as I don't turn.
    ...now that it's low, I couldn't go back to stock height and be happy.
