Default Finally dropped my truck!

Well after a long time of cruising around this site and seeing all the good looking trucks I decided to join the group. So I got a new set of 20' Torq Thrust ST's to go with 275/45 Goodyear Eagle GT II's. I went with the McGaughy's 2/4 drop (Spindles front, Shackle/Hanger rear). I also decided to get the Belltech street performance shocks and Hotchkis front and rear sway bars.

I finally finished installing the last of it today and took it for a drive. It is a totally different truck now, the handling is 10 times better and the sway bars got rid of most of the body roll. It is quite fun to drive, now all I have to do is add lots and lots of horsepower.

Looks awesome man...I want those same shocks and sway bars, as well as another inch lower in the front and another two in the rear. How do you like those Belltech shocks?
