You'll probably get more responses in the "lowered" section or another board.

Don't know what your tire/wheel plans are? If you plan to ever haul more than groceries? Forget about it being a truck? Just want a show you 4x2 ?

Look up a member his name is droop. He has a real clean looking lowered truck as well as a few other members. Just can't think of their names.

Is your truck 4x4? If 4x4 I'd do the 2/4, still would want some ground clearance.

2/4 or 3/5.

4/6 you'll be riding the frame quite often in the rear.

I have 3/5 DJM and love it. (need helper bag to tow though)

Heres mine with the Belltech 908SP kit. First pic is a 3/5 drop and second and third pics are at 2.5/4.5. Very happy with it. Handling and ride are beyond my expectations. I have 20" Roush wheels with 285/50/20 tires. No rub, and I can still put plenty in the bed. Riding lawn mower etc. No issues towing my single axle or dual axle enclosed trailers. I am using the strut and springs from the kit up front. Out back however I am using my QA1 dual adjustable shocks.

Your wheels will definitely make a difference.

Too low (apprx. 4/6 with 305/40/23 tires)


Just right (apprx. 3/5 with 305/40/23 tires)

2.5/5 first pic no air in rear shocks second has air and rides nice as if not nicer then stock fully aired up and i cut front bumpstop to keep it from bottoming out easy but also still not hit tire and it made a world of difference but whatever you do i suggest struts not springs i got springs but switching to struts soon.....lowering strut/spring assembly is what i mean instead of just shorter springs just thought id throw that out there before some douche tried to correct me on what suspension parts are on a our trucks.
