Default Finally satisfied (for now lol)

Installed everything last weekend and just got a chance to clean my truck good enough for a picture lol but It only took me about 6 months to suck it up and drop the money for the correct kit to make it set right lol (I'm cheap!!!). I ended up with a 2/5 drop with coils up front and belltech flip in the back. I know some people are not too fond of lowered trucks but what do u guess think? Btw any feed back good or bad is appreciated lol

Wow! I love it! Its an FX2 so its a sports truck. You still have the utility of the box, I think its good stuff! I like it better than a lifted truck!

Thanks guys appreciate it. I was shooting for sporty look rather than the normal low rider which is y I just went with wide 20"s....has a very aggressive look when comming down the road lol

The dealer I know got it from the auction with the hood already on it and I paid the same price for this truck with the 5.4 as other dealers wanted for the same fx2's with similar miles and only the 4.6.....so I like to think of the hood as a free bee lol

I think it turned out great, looks like it would be fun to take on a nice mountain drive. Does it handle better with the lower stance and the wider tires? I used to be a 2wd guy, so I can appreciate a truck that doesn't appear overdone and not too much chrome. With it being lowered, you could lose the sidesteps to clean it up. They are kind of useless since it is lowered.

Handles great and can take a curve 10x better and faster than before. I bet it would be fun to drive in the mountains but im In Louisiana lol. As far as the steps, I was planning on taking them off yesterday but I have a 2 and 3 year old and they were both extremely excited because they can climb in the truck by themselves now so I'm probably ganna keep the steps for them....I agree wit would look better but its not that big a deal
