Default Lost overload and decranked

truck was 3/4 before. pulled the overload last night, and today Ben let me use his lift and we decranked the keys 3 full turns for a total of 1 1/4" drop in front.

According to my measurements I lost exactly 1" in the rear from the overload.

So now the truck sits better on the tires, I guess you could call it a 4/5 lol. and it still has a small amount of rake which I like.

BTW I noticed almost no change in ride quality with the removal of the overloads. after 60 miles of driving.

Pics......

Haha yeah one more inch in the back and I'll be at ur level.

Lots of guys have been doing drop spindles on drop lca's but then I'd have to get upper control arms for alignment.

There's a few on gmfullsize runnin 5/7s with no 4x4 problems I just don't wanna spend the jack
