IMO I wouldn't go that low whitout having the possiblity to raise it..(air ride)...but You live in CA and have nice road...not the third world road like we have here in quebec.

look badass nonetheless
Agreed with the other low spots you pointed out. I wasnt planning on going that low. I was gonna keep it at the 4.5in level by adding the 1in black ring spacer that makes the 3in springs into 2in springs but it wasn't compatible with my set up. So the 3.5 lca's, 3in springs, and ALL rings added to drop shocks for a 1in lift still gave me 5.5in.

I thank you and admit it looks sex but I wouldnt have done it that low on purpose.

honestly id lift it up 1 inch and run a 265 40 22 in front to fill up the wells and give it a nice stuffed look. Due to the tire being 1 inch bigger and lifting it up one inch would give you 1.5 inches more clearance which would look great.

Rear 285 40 22 would be stuffed in there also.

my old tbss i know its not a ford but thats a 265 35 22/285 35 22 in rear and 29 from ground to fenderlip looked perfect

I already have 3 big rings and 2 little rings on each drop shock, but i do have 2 extra big rings for an extra inch of lift.

What about my outer tie rods?? They've been trimmed down so much. Will i need new ones???

Btw, bad @$$ Chevy.
