Hello all, been asking questions for a while so figured I would post a few pics of the truck now that I have it dropped.
Here it is as I bought it from the original owners grandson, 5 years since repaint and new gm crate engine. Leveling shackles and 275/55 /20 tires all around.
I did not care for the 20 inch wheels, plus they rubbed on the sway bar when turning so I got some 17" torq thrust ll wheels, 17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear.
Much better IMO but still sat too high. Went with a Belltech notch/flip kit, DJM 2" drop spindle, Belltech SP shocks and cut the stock front coils. Ended up cutting off just over a full coil on the right and slightly less than a full coil on the left. Sits level side to side in front with 1/2 tank of gas and my 230 lb butt in the seat. In this pic it's about 4.25 drop front and 8" rear because of the lowering shackles.
Little to low in back for my liking so I went to the 1" hole in the shackles, gonna ride like this for a bit and see how it goes after I hit a few big dips and take a few curves at speed.
