Man I like that color. I agree with the other guys, either drop the front or raise the rear, since it's got a pretty good upward rake to it. I assume you'll probably drop the front another inch or so, since you already had the 3/5 if I recall correctly. Once you get the stance right and cut the exhaust like you were saying, instead of being out in la la land, you'll be looking ultra pimp!

Thanks for the comments guys. It'll be a little while before I can drop the front another inch since I'm gonna need some tires cause it'll scrub if I don't. When we dropped the rear 2 more inches I figured that'll be the perfect stance. Nope I guess not. It looks good on an ext cab, but I guess reg cabs are diff somehow. I'm going to raise the rear to a 6 for now until I can drop the front. You guys helped out cause I knew it wasn't level!!! I told my friend that helped me that it wasn't but he said it was and that it's the fenders messing with my head. This thing has drove me crazy this week cause I wanted it level!

As for the drop I went with a 3/5 to begin with. I used 3" coils up front and 3" leafs and 2" shackles out back. And since I already had the leafs installed I just went with some 2" hangers to get the 7. All Belltech componets with Belltech shocks. I'd actually say it rides better cause I now have the frame notched and have more travel cept for the exhaust laying on the axle!

Looks cool, but aren't you concerned about ripping your **** up under the truck? Man, I'd hate to drive around in that. Get HC'd on a speed bump.

One of the mirrors (forgot which one) is convex so you dont really lose much view......the only problem I've had is on the drivers side in the blind spot.......the blind spot got a little bigger but not much.......I was suprized how well they work - I thought it would be a huge loss of view from the elephant ears

I've got used to them pretty much now. No biggie. The rims are 20X8.5 AR Pirahna's.

I got a good deal on them so I went ahead and got em. I'll prolly buy some diff ones later on.
