Looks nearly identical to mine lol, white bumper cap and different wheels On mine.

I did the shackles and blocks too but mine looks a little lower than that. May be in my head though

Grade 9 hardware is what comes with the kit. I have 2" drop spindles and adjustable struts sitting in my garage and opted to try this route to see how it does. I certainly can't say it won't fail even with Grade 9 hardware and I had the same reservations about it too, but so far, over a month and 2800 miles including a nice road trip, I've been pleased. No bump steer at all and rides no different from stock. I lowered the whole truck for $88 + alignment ($44 shipped on the shackles and $44 shipped on the strut kit).

My Mcgaughy's shackles were 2" drop.... sure wish I would have went with 3" but I only have "about" .250" space between my shackle and bed seam with the 2" shackle, I'm not really sure if a 3" shackle would fit even cutting the seam off flush to the bed floor.

Will you post a pic of your truck. 3" shackles fit on mine. They where a little tight even after cutting the lip.

Wait, so someone makes a kit to mount the stut under the LCA?

Yeah, Rough Country makes it. All it is, is there leveling kit on the bottom of the lower control arm.

I know the reg cab's sit higher, but I just wouldn't have thought there would be that much difference. I'll have to take a picture of the space between my 2" shackle and the bed seam, but I can't fit my finger between them. I even had to slightly bend the seam to get the shackle bolts back in.

It's not quite their leveling kit although the same principle except remounted under the control arm. The 2" level uses a 3/8" spacer and 2" lowering kit uses a 1/4" spacer. And with that being said, I would NOT go any thicker than 1/4" spacer to lower it. I machined some thicker ones myself to "try" and the geometry was WAY out of whack.
