Default Cosmetic Mods

Ordered a Belltech 2" drop kit (spindles and shackles) and a Reflexxion cowl hood today.
I think I'm almost done but still need to order an SS cluster with trans temp and a spray in bed liner.
Then it's just small parts from there!

so you are going 2/2??? I'd try to level it out in the back. but I guess it depends on the look you want.

why not level it out with a 2/4 instead of a 2/2? i think 2" rake is too much. level or 1" rake looks best IMO.

I want to keep a slight rake like it has now. I might put my- or a friends Harley in the back on occasion.

The 2/2 will look ok! Since the front is always lower than the front even in stock suspension you'll have a pretty mild rake. Doing the 4" rear drop it'll look even.

I might go for some hangars too and make it 2/3. I just measured the gaps and I have 8" in the rear and 6" in the front. Damn hangars add $370 to the job.
