4/6 here with McGaughys front spindles/ stock keys lowered.
Rear is McGaughys shackles / hangers and rear block removed .
Had to use pinion shims to get correct drive line angles and new bump stops.

Truck rides well , not as well as stock but firmer , I drove it almost every day to work this summer/fall , so I'm saying it is fine for daily driving . I love it lowered .







Ok ok , I was following Blown06 with some pic whoring lol

What's the backspacing on those rear wheels?

Backspacing is 6.5

McGaughys or Belltech make good kits. I think The Suspension Source is still a sponsor? they usually have good prices.

The best luck I've had with adjustable shocks has been RideTech's, have them on the front will get them out back soon. I also ran Qa1's up front for a while when I was 5/7 with drop coils, but they didn't seem to help no matter what I set them at(they were also twin-tube vs. RT's Mono-tube).

On to my junk, I've had several different setups, combos and brands of parts: stock - 2/2 - 4/7(didn't keep 4" for more than a couple hundred miles) and currently 5/7 as my daily driver

here is 2/2 with stock wheels: rides just like stock, wanted to do 2/4 but got bored and went for more low


2/2 with some rimz


5/7, springs/spindles and flip kit/notch w/ stock wheels, rode like crap with the 3" drop coils


And where I'm at now 5/7, Coil-overs/spindles and flip kit/notch, back on wheels, rides a lot better with coils, firm but not overly jarring like it was with the drop springs - main thing is to get good shocks.

Here is my 2/4. Lower control arms up front and an axle flip with lowering the rear mount.

I'd call that just nearly perfect IMO.

I'm thinking of raising my truck back up.

TheBeeblebrox, your ridetech thread was the deciding factor to go with the coilovers.

Which spindles do you have? I'd swear your front end looks lower than mine with 3" BT drop springs. What's your ground to fender measurement on the front?
