Default 2008 Ext cab Silverado 2/4 drop

I just finished up on my 2/4 drop
front belltech ajustable struts
rear belltech shackles, removed rear block and leafspring clamps

with this set up the truck has a 1" rake and turned out perfectly the way I wanted..

I do have to say that the truck looks lower in person than in the pictures dont know why that is but it always seems to be the case. 4/7 truck looks sick in pictures but in person to me seems to low

I might think about doing a flip and getting it to a 2/5 drop but for now I like this.

truck is really dirty because of the rain we had yesterday but none the less here are some pictures

Looks great, will handle nice as well.
What's up with the struts, what is the range of adjustment.

They come with these rings that go under the coil perch and you can adjust them to the height you want in 1/2 inch increments from -2 to +2
