If you tow, I would consider a Timber Grove rear airbag spring replacement. Not cheap but better than a regular spring...
I am working on putting together my own "kit" for a 3/5 drop
Crown Suspension Front Springs 3" drop
Timber Grove CRM (Coil Replacement Mount) 5" drop
Core4X4 adjustable rear control arm set and adjustable pan hard bar
last will be some Viking Double adjustable (and rebuildable) shocks
Check out Timber Grove here... there are a couple guys on this board using them

Beautiful truck. I have the same kit. Those relo brackets are crucial in recentering the rear wheels. I have the original illict brackets as well.Does your kit include the brackets to relocate the rear locating arms,if not,they're worth having.The rear suspension geometery really goes out of whack when you lower a 4th gen. I'm running the older Illicit brackets,but the Inez brackets do the same thing .You can see where the arms sit with the brackets in these pics

Are the relocation brackets needed for a 3 inch drop in the rear? Or is just for 4 inch and lower? Asking for future reference.

Sounds good, I have a quad cab and read that 2 inch rear lowering springs don't give it the full drop compared to the crew cab because of the weight so was looking at 3 inch crown springs instead.
I'm back in Edmonton for the time being but hoping to be back in Calgary come the summer time so hopefully i can get out!
I moved here from England 5 years ago and I still cannot believe I haven't made it out to Castrol once!

Are these factory 20" wheels?
You went chrome slats to honeycomb, I went honeycomb to chrome slats, lol. Would’ve been a good trade!They are,trucks actually a lowered 4X4 Sport with a grill swap,so those are the factory 20X9 Sport wheels
There are maybe two sports here, all 4 doors. Only one R/T in town, rest are tradesmen.I liked the airflow to the rad that the honeycomb grill provides over the chrome slat grill,lol.
What it looked like with the original grill.Sports are everywhere in Alberta,lol.

I monitored my gauges for a week after the swap and didn’t see any real difference.
I’ve debated swapping back when I repaint the truck and ditch the chrome.
Love the red rig you got!
