Can't wait to see the drop!!

 

[Milt IV]

Got the drop on today. Ground Force 2/3 #9984. So far I ended up with 2" drop up front and 3.5" of drop out back. We'll see if it settles any after it get's a couple hundred miles.

I'm pretty happy with it so far. Rides pretty nice for a dropped truck. I've had plenty that have rode like complete **** and this one definitely does not feel like ****. New springs are a lot stiffer but not harsh. New shocks seem to be doing there job as well.

I would like to be a little lower all around but I think I'm going to roll like this for a while, maybe see if it settles some. It looks 100x better than it did with the SRTs and stock height though, that's for sure!

Kind of dirty but I snapped a few pics of it on the way home, couldn't resist.

Looks awesome man!!

Thanks man. I keep going out to the garage and starring at it lol.

I measured after the drop and it looks like I got 2" up front and 3.5" out back so far. We'll see if it settles any after it gets some miles on it.

I measured before and after from the fender to the center of the axle. Measurements below are post drop

DF - 19.5" PF - 19.5"
DR - 20.5" PR - 20.5"

I will be cutting the rear springs to get rid of the 1" rake depending on where everything settles to. I my cut the front to get a little more out of it too. It's riding so good for a lowered truck right now I'm hesitant to hack it up, but I really want to be level and want a little more low.

Took some rain pics today and edited a couple. I have no picture taking and or editing skills so I just shot these on a camera phone and put a filter on a couple lol. I need to bust out the real camera again one day, I always forget I have one.

 

[tipnitty]

Check the paint code on the door.

You should see a lot of green and purple metallic in the sun with max steel. I love mine. Its a great color.

Installed LED lights in my reverse, cargo, and license plate. Got them from forum vendor Enlight Automotive. Very happy with the quality of the bulbs and the customer service. I would recommend them for your LED needs. This is a must on any vehicle IMO. Really cleans up the lighting and gives it a classy/refined look, I hate incandescent bulbs lol.

Sorry for the crappy pics, I never have any luck taking pics of lights.

This is just a comparison so you can see the difference between the LED and incandescent.


Here is what they look like at night







As the sun was setting tonight.



And here are just a couple of pics I took when it was overcast yesterday just because I love my truck so much LOL

[jaycabral27]

Looks so nice I'm definetly gonna order some now

 

[CMil527]

the new lights look great... beautiful rig!

 

[Milt IV]

Thanks bud

Looks so nice I'm definetly gonna order some now

I highly recommend it. You will love them. Now I just need to get HIDs up front and that will take care of all my exterior lighting.

Hopefully one of the forum vendors comes up with a solution for replacing the factory interior LEDs on these new trucks. The factory interior LEDs are not near as nice as all the ones I just replaced on the exterior. The factory interiors almost look like incandescents, they are like 4300k, a yellowish color. I want them to be 6k like all the other LEDs I have now, a nice bright white with just a slight hint of blue.

 

[crash_eco]

looks awesome!!

you can tint your windsheld? not around here lol, i didnt know you could do that anywhere... we can do a stripe of tint where the sun visors block the glass but thats it.

 

[Milt IV]

I have a medical exemption for tint in the state of TX. That is also what allows me to tint all of side windows so dark.
