ugh, the turmoil of deciding... I have the 2" drop shackles on the way for now... every time I haul the dirtbikes I think about how much it would suck if my truck were lowered... I just can't decide. It'd be great for loading the bikes but not for getting to the areas I ride at. Maybe I should lift this one and get a cheaper older 2wd to lower and mess with.

that's what I would do.

how do you like your 35" dune grapplers on your 3" b/l? If I go up then I was thinking about the terra grapplers since they are a little more aggressive looking imo but not sure yet.

There are some pictures of my truck it looks a little different now
I like it, the Dune Grapplers are awesome all around except for snow. they did ok in the mud. Awesome in the sand.

nice truck, thanks for the pics. how did you level out the front? I've heard keys work for a while but begin to sag within a year sometimes.

Thanks.
I replaced my keys with some that I got from a local shop, the only thing that I have had go wrong is I just had to replace my inner and outer tie rods. I also have to replace my idler and pit man arms, but knowing that going forward with the lifting. I have heard good things about a company called cognitomotorsports.com so when I get the money up for that I am going to put that stuff on my truck. Also I had to replace my upper control arm, the bushing was going bad and it was cheaper to replace the whole A arm, but that same company make a upper control arm that will make the truck ride like stock, that is what I have been told.

Sorry for the long rant... But lift that thing and make it fast!

I should of mentioned that the owner before me had a 5th wheel in it, yes a 1500 with a 5th wheel... As soon as I got it I had to replace the idler and pit man arms.

Welcome aboard from Texas.

Clean truck.

I think lowered trucks are great, but in this case I agree with the lift; do that and get some power under it, and I'd say it's good to go IMO.

I must ask... what makes my truck the exception? What is it about my truck that makes most people say to lift even if they have a 4wd lowered truck? Intrigues me...

I even have 22" wheels and I still get that... Im not getting rid of those either way! Unless if I went bigger... I just like big wheels... I had 24s before these and thought a 2/4 drop would have been perfect.

I think it would look sweet with a little drop, maybe a 3/6. Sweet truck though
