Truck is looking great!

What headlights are those? I am looking for some that are not obnoxious, and those nail it. Do they work with a non HD front end?

Does that chin spoiler rub in driveways?
It doesn't rub if your conscious about it, but if you let your fiancé drive your truck she will tear it off lol. I am currently in need of another one.

Thanks man, the headlights are spec D tuning headlights. I got them off of amazon. Not the best quality headlight but I like how they look and we'll see how they hold up. And Yes they will fit a regular 1500 front end.

Well I finished all of the maintenance I wanted to get done before I drop it. New oil cooler lines, inner and outer tie rods, complete upper control arms, carrier bearing and rear U joint. To celebrate I took it in, got the alignment done and got the 275/45/r20's mounted and balanced that I picked up. Drop kit should be here Monday! I'll post more pics once she's dropped and washed.

Okay so the drop kit arrived and garage mayhem soon followed.



The truck was down for a week as I only worked on it a couple hours after work each day, but the new parts did find their way onto the truck.



The drop I ended up with is a 3/5 drop. Up front I used 3 inch DJM drop lca's. I added a polly spacer up font since the lca's took the truck down about a 1/2 iunch more than I wanted. Out back I ran Belltech's flip kit with DJM 1 inch lift shackles.

I just saw this thread for the first time. After the first post I thought, why bother. But wow, that is one sharp looking 2500. Well done.
