not yet.
I too am hoping to do something come spring. I have shackles sitting in the basement, but I think instead of piece mealing my drop, I am just gonna buy a complete kit.

hi-rev

You can get a great deal from thesuspensionsource.com or djm/beltechdirect from here on the forum, a beltech 3/5 complete kit for under 600 bucks shipped part number for our trucks is beltechs 971SP, that's lowering struts/rear flip with rear shocks, and if you want to get a a 4/6 ppl in Texas are mixing the djm 3 inch drop control arms and setting the belttech drop struts to a one inch drop to achieve the four inches and they have said they align Jst fine like that,

hi-rev

the silver one is Boss5.0's truck, the red with platinum accents is his nephews and has a kenne bell blower on it, the black one is the famous 10.9 second roush blown jlp tuned truck, and the two white ones belong to his nephews

02REAPER: what drop are you running? your truck is identical to mine except for yours being an XLT with the chrome whereas mine is an STX with body color.

It's dropped a little more now than when I took that pic....its 3" in the front and 4.5" in the rear I believe. Belltech lowering struts on the front with no spacers and groundforce rear leafs with 1" drop shackle in the rear. Will post up pics later.

ok so how many of you RCSB guys who have done the drop are experiencing driveline angle vibes? have you done anything to correct it?

I have noticed when I put a good chunk of weight in the bed and the driveline angle changes (essentially the same as it being lowered) I will get some pretty noticable shudders and vibes. this is what worries me about lowering my truck. I haul significant amounts of weight (over 1000lbs) in the bed about once a month, so being able to use my truck AS A TRUCK is an absolute must. so obviously doing an airbag helper setup is going to be in the cards as well. but I dont want to do all this only to find my truck has just become as worthless for hauling as the mustang I traded in on it.

hi-rev

I think with a djm rear kit will be better for you and the slam air helper bags and maybe a notch so u don't bottom out with that much wieght, if you do a mild drop like a 2/4 u shouldnt have to much of a problem
