If you stick with the 2/4 drop instead of cutting further, can you preease do me a favor and measure the front and back bottom fender to ground...if time allows :)

No I put the stripes...I use to have factory pinstripe painted along the sides but I removed them and put these on

Are those factory stripes on your truck in orange?

Ya for sure if I do just put the 2/4 I will get the measurement for u

Nice stance. You end up cutting the 2/4?

Looking sharp!
Did you use the Belltech and cut it?

How does it ride? Would you be worried about towing anything?

The ride is good not bottom out or rubbing and I really don't tow anything but will try and see. And ya I bought the beltech kit 2/4 and cut it used the factory shocks but I will end up putting drop shocks later

And this morning I hit 110-115 on the way to work and no wobble at all and pretty good ride

I'm assuming that's what, about 10-11" from ground to bottom fenders( not guard)? Good to hear you have no "wobble-wobble."

The lower you go, the better chance of eliminating the wobble.

Well done sir!

Thanks and I will get measurements for y'all when I get a chance on a leveled surface but my rear is up I say about 1/2 more than the front. I will most likely level it later by cutting about 1/4-1/2 a coil turn more. But I have stock 33" tires and I will also b putiing about 29"-30" tires to bring it a bit lower
