Default how the rides coming along

after having my truck lowered for the longest time i decided to lift it heres how it came along

i have a flipkit and hangers and cut springs and control arms before


decided i was tired of having to drive around really slow and stop at bumps so i put in a leveling kit and a small block in the back and got a hold of some tires some 275 65 20s

and just like it happened when i first lowered my truck i got an itch that i wanted more so a couple of weeks ago i ordered a 3 inch spindle and rear 1.5 spacers and i got a hold of a used set of tires not as tall but i think they looked better imo also got a hold of an rcd light bar that i had wanted for a while so this is what it looks like today


and well now it can do what it was ment to do still got a couple of things that i got to get like some lights for the bar and maybe some 35s with the income tax

Did the exact opposite of me. I had my last truck on 37s and drove it like that for 4 years. Then I wanted something different so I put a 3/5 drop on it.



Not a real good one, but the only one I have on this computer.

I agree. Either way, it's a win. Very nice.
