I did the same kit as you did and noticed I make alot wider turns now...
I noticed I lost a little radius, gotta pay to play.

yes the turning radius is larger now for sure. not sure why, but i don't use the truck enough to worry with it that much. only put 7500 miles on it in 1 year. lol

I think his is a 4x4 though and mine is 2x4. I already ordered my 6" BDS kit today too. I was going to do 4" but figured I'd just want more so I went with the 6".

Good lookin out though.

by the way Milt IV- what kind of 20's are you looking for? mine are brand new. 20" xd badlands with deep offset. about 3 months old and in perfect shape. tires are the factory pirellis, with about 7k miles on them. maybe we could work a trade on wheels and i could buy your drop when you get it off?

Yes I will be selling the drop kit. I have a for sale thread for it on the other forum. I have not posted anything for sale on here yet because I am new over here and I know I always get leery when I see a brand new member selling things. I will PM you the link to my other thread.

I believe the kit will work on 4x4 as well. I know the adjustable drop struts will work for the front. The rear is just a flip kit with shocks so I don't see why it would not work on 4x4 either. It wouldn't hurt to call Belltech and double check though. You can find the part # for the kit in my other thread.

If it will work for your truck you can pick it up from me for about half the cost of a new kit. My struts are only a month old as I already replaced them once. The rear kit doesn't have any parts that wear out except the shocks and you could pick up a new set of them when the time comes for like $60 I think.

My wheels came in yesterday. 20x9 XD addicts -12mm offset. I am just waiting on my lift kit to come in so I can install everything and get the tires mounted. Sale on my wheels is pending to a member on the other forum. As soon as I take them off, he is sending payment. Thanks for the offer though.
