Hey, thanks for the info.

I am still wondering whether I will need to go the 5" in the back or not. When I installed the 2" drop shackles in the rear the front was still 1" lower so I went another inch and it sets level now with the 0/3 lowering I have done.

So when I lower the front 2" Saturday it only makes sense that I will need to lower the back another 2" to maintain a level stance.

And like you mentioned it could be a little different being that yours is 4x4 and then also there could be a slight difference being 2007 and 2010.

Ended up dropping the back 5"...doing 2" inches in the front now and we'll see if the stance is right at 2/5...

I hope so because the 305s look bad *** in the back so it would suck to have to raise the back up an inch...

I think you might be riding prerunner with a 2/5.

Haha, I hope not, but we will know for sure in about 30 minutes..

My 2010 measured 3" higher in the back stock, but we will see soon enough.

If it does it will only take about 15 minutes to make it a 2/4...

Well Shane B you were exactly right!

Got it all set up at 2/5 and the back was about 3/4" lower than the front so we put the factory block back in over the rear axle and it's perfect. There is just a slight rake to it now and the 305s look a lot more at home.

I must say I really like the appearance with it 2/4.

sell the 1" coil, and pick up a set of belltech adjustable struts and set it at 1" drop it'll help out a lot.
