Looks great Mitch. Now it's on to headlights and fogs and wheels and...and...it just keeps going.

What's the sticker on the back window?

mitchman · Mar 30, 2011

'Salt Life'

Yup. I know I want wheels, heads, tails...ect...

xxxotiknightz · Apr 22, 2011

What brand? Where did you buy it? How much?

mitchman · Apr 23, 2011

It's the McGaughy's kit. I got it from Stylin' Trucks. It was right under $400 to my door

Looks good on your truck. 4th gens are starting to grow on me.

And thanks guys

awesome. im looking at the same drop right now. im thinking between the belltech and McG.

mitchman · Apr 23, 2011

I think McG is the only one that includes a trac bar relocator (which keeps the axle from looking too far forward in the rear wheel well)

xxxotiknightz · Apr 24, 2011

did you have to cut the bump stops?

mitchman · Apr 24, 2011

Yes. Cut the bumpstops off (the rear) and smooth out the area and shoot it with some spray paint while you have the truck apart. It's really not a big deal though. If you buy a $100 set of helper bags down the road (or at the same time) not only will you maintain your towing capacity but IF you ever did return the truck to stock you wouldn't have to worry about ever using the bumpstops anyway.

xxxotiknightz · Apr 24, 2011

Does it bottom out a lot?

mitchman · Apr 24, 2011

I haven't bottomed mine out. I can barely tell the difference from stock. A tiny bit stiffer in the big bumps for the rear, the ride up front IMO is at least equal to stock

BMRbrnSNRbrd · Apr 24, 2011

Mitch is dead on...but I think you have to cut the front bump stops off, not the rear (or at least that's how mine were.) I debated between McG and BT and found the McG offered a lot more for the money.

BTW, I have yet to bottom my truck out even when going over an area that bottomed my '04 out every time. Also, I agree with mitch about the ride quality.

I didn't cut my front at all?
