Nope no new springs, I didnt want to give up the smooth ride that a stock truck has.
One thing I have learned is that I will enjoy my truck more like this than slamming it (like I have done in the past)

And at the end of the day I will look back and say "I like that" instead of "I wish I had never messed with it"

Ive done the extreme builds and Ive done the light builds but this has to be my favorite (of the trucks Ive owned) so far

Plus the only slammed ones I like are regular cabs. ext cab and crews dont look good from certain angles with to much drop

I like to use the word Proportional, and a proportional truck is what looks good to me. And I think thats what I have in this one, although I would have liked 22" instead of the 20" but hey I got a great deal on these.......

then with that done I chose my front drop, I coule go lower in the fron but I like where its at
So you used shocks front and back then shackles and removed the block?

So that should also keep your pinion angle stock and not cause extra vibration right?
