Default 08 Drop!!

Hey guys i just signed up this morning. i have a 2008 LIMITED with every option on it. it doesn't really need any mods, its a badass truck all alone, but i'm looking to set it apart from the other 4999 that there are identical to it. Im looking to purchase 22" Asanti wheels that have matching color accents and also a drop. I was curious who has dropped their trucks with what drop and if you have pics that would be awesome..

My cousin just put a 2" drop shackle kit on his Fx2..Forgot to take before and after pics/mesurements. But there definately is a visual difference when looking at it...Judging from your pics, the 2" would drop yours down a bit especially with the bigger wheels.

I've put a 4" drop on the rear with leafs springs, I haven't put the 2" front drop on yet hope to do it this weekend, will be using drop shocks on the front, that just move down the stock spring mounting location. Right now the front is about 1/2" higher than the rear.

Pictures are in Photo Album

Im not gonna slam it, i just wanna fill the gaps between the fenders and the tires, This truck has a more luxury look so i just want it to be simple, plus i've already had one slammed and hated driving it. Been there done that. I'm keeping the factory tires and buying new Asanti af145's 22"s soon so i just want it to sit about 2" lower front and back.

Tell me what color Asanti's do you want and I'll get back to you with a price on them.
