My time finally came

Finally after collecting parts for months and drooling over everyone elses trucks, my time finally came. Lowered my baby 4/5 with all belltech parts. 2" coils and drop spindles up front. 2" 2* lowering blocks and 3" drop leaves in the rear. Along with summit shocks on all four corners. The front is complete, but I sill have to cut the bumpstops and the brackets in the rear.

Re: My time finally came

Are you sure you got the 5" drop out back? Maybe it's just the picture, but it looks like it should be lower...

Re: My time finally came

It may not look like 5 because the rear tires look like they are taller than the front.

Re: My time finally came

I installed a lean spacer and it is level.

The front tire is a 205/60 because the stock size rubbed the inners whenever I would hit the slight bump.

A 5" drop is installed for the back but I am sitting on the bumpstops. After I cut off the bumpstop brackets this weekend the back will drop some more.

Re: My time finally came

Cut off the bumpstop brackets this weekend. Brought down the back some. It turns out my drop turned out being a 5/5.5. The smaller tires up front brought her down an extra inch. I don't know how I got the extra .5 in the back. I'm still debating whether I'm going to get smaller tires in the back or just pull out the 2" blocks and replace them with 3" blocks.

Re: My time finally came

get the same size tires in the back that you have in the front. the staggered tire size looks kinda weird. other than that the truck looks good
