What can be said that hasn't already? That looks awesome!! I like the lowered look also, but its not for me on my truck. I have an ecsb 2wd (only a half ton though) and did a 2" shackle in the rear to level it out. It STILL has a little bit of rake to it, even after the shackle. I think a 2" shackle in the rear would level your truck out perfect. Either way, it looks great as it is! Congrats!

p.s. I'm looking at those tires myself now after seeing them on your truck. Before I thought they would only look good on a lowered truck, so I passed them by for my 20's....man was I wrong.

I think I like sitting a little higher than most vehicles too much to go lower, overall that is, a rear shackle is still up in the air. I actually have velvet ride shackles on there now. The rear fender flare sits 40.5" above the ground at its center. That's what it was stock with the spare tire and trailering equipment (approx 100lbs). I suppose if I bolted those back on I might drop another inch due to the added weight.

Thanks for the compliment. I am very surprised so many Tech'ers seem to like the look of it, I've honestly never had so much positive input about anything I've ever driven.

Remember when you sent me those pics? Between your truck and Yelo's is what I was shooting for. Thanks again for the inspiration
