if it's just a flip in the back without drop shackles, then it looks like a 3/6 to me.

heres my old truck with a 3/6

Sorry just saw this, I didn't use any kit per say. The front was done with lowering torsion bar keys. The rear was done with 2" BellTech lowering shackles and then I removed the factory 2" blocks.


Picobas, your pics aren't showing up for me.

Looks like 4/6 to me. Did you use coils on the front? If so, they'll probably settle in another 1/2" or so.

heres my old truck with a 3/6

it kinda looks like yours it's true
as I said I really don't know what the components are I don't understand anything in mechanics plus I'm from overseas so I don't get all the parts right , All I know is that I gave the garage a djm 4/6 pro drop kit which costed almost 500 bucks plus special shocks plus 6 hours of work by the garage (bout qnother 500 $) & not a satisfying result to my eyes ..

if it is a coil problem I think I will buy if it possible 3in lowering coils in front + 2 in in the rear ( so I can adjust the level and go 2in lower because I was waiting for a lower look than that .. of course I'll have to put small tires on it)

Looks really good to me, like has been said if you used lowering springs they will probably settle some. Most that I've read about have.

if i was you, i'd take the front coil springs out and cut 1/2 a coil off and be done. that would put you level or .5" lower in the front.
