That looks sharp. I take it the tires are the 275/55?

when they ask tell them you didnt lower a 4wd truck, you lowered an awd truck, it just sounds better. and what did you do to lower the front.

Damnit you bastard. I dropped mine 2" in the back, and leveled out the front, it needs to be lower, but I wasnt gonna do it, now I see yours and I HAVE to do it. Could you let me know where you got the keys from, and about how mutch they cost. I was thinking you could only get the lowering keys in a kit.

In the front I used Belltech keys #3921, $108.39 from Summit racing.

At first I installed the keys and set the adjusting bolt to the factory position, and got a good 2" of drop, then I backed them out 7 turns. I think I might try turning them back in two turns, and see if it rides better. Not that it rides bad, but I think the jounce bumpers are doing a lot of the work right now.

Also that exhaust, I built it myself a couple weeks ago https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...ight=magnaflow

Truck looks very good. It would be perfect if you:
-Tint the rear and side windows
-Removed side moldings
-Removed Z71 sticker
-Upgraded to bigger brakes


Quick Reply: lowered the Z71
