1. 2004 SCab
2. 2wd
3. 3.5" front
4. $400
5. Both
My truck is already 2.5"/5" via DJM 2.5" control arms up front and DJM flip kit with 1" lifting shackles. What I want is to lower the front 1" more. Truck has 70,000 miles and front shocks are probably dead. I also want to have good alignment.

if you do the drop struts on top of the a arms you have now for another 1 inch it wont align. You will have to grind the holes on the frame.
total cost is $215 for the struts shipped.
only other option is do the new djm 3.5 a arms and new belltech drop struts and set the struts to stock height will be more but will align and ride better.

Tony, Would appreciate your recommendations to lower:
1) 2009 Lariat SCrew
2) 2wd
3) Ideally, wheels will not stick out past upper part of wheel well with a 1" clearance. Thinking 20's in the front, 22's in the rear - or 22's all around...
4) No issue with budget
5) either belltech or djm.
Tks,
AJ
