Ive been wanting to drop my truck since I got it a year ago. It has leveling shackes on it but that little rear drop was no where near enough. I took my 20's off and put stockers on it. This weekend I removed the second leaf in the rear and dropped the front with some heat. I know this is the cheap, Not smart way to do it but while it rides rough it drives straight and I love it.

Before



After

 

so whats your fender to hub measurements? and it is a 2wd correct? get us some better pics man, and buff polish those tails. looks better lowered. and i like the color

 

have no idea on the measurements, I know fender to ground is like 31.5"

And Ive been wondering how the hell everyone gets there tinted tails so shiny. lol..i gotta work on that

 

camera phone pics = suck. Ill work on that too.

 

Looks good bro! cant believe that things got 273,000 miles on it.Hope mine lasts that long.

 

Lol, I just rolled over 180,000 on my 00' 2500 6.0l. Thing runs like a top.

 

Looks good! Looks like a 3/5 drop now. I like the stockers better on your truck. Hope it doesn't keep settling on you... usually when you heat the coils they loose their temper and become soft and just keep sagging. But i am sure you know. Next time cut the coils with a sazall and some water to keep them cool. It's prolly riding rough because of the shocks.

 

clear coat, wetsand with 1500, compound, buff, polish

 

Looks good. Def want to clear those tails.

 

Heres a super grainy camera phone pic from this morning. I def. like the stock wheels much better. I do want some newer ones with nicer tires though. The ol stock white letters looks like a hip grandpas truck. Ill redo the tails this weekend. Originally I did them with niteshades and messed them up. they looked cracked. So I got that off and lightly dusted them with black paint till they were dark and I actually cleared them but it didnt lay slick at all. Kinda sprayed dry. So i need to redo them and do them right.So Im thinking. sand paper,buff the big scratches out, scuff them again, shade, clear, them polish like yall said.
