I know this is an old thread but thanks for the compliment, real talk. But as for the OP, dont make the mistake I made and chopping up your suspension. I paid $550 for that when I could have ordered a quality kit for about $100 more. Now I just recently paid $567 for new rear leaf springs plus a new Belltech 908sp kit, about $1500 total. Do it right the first time, bro....

Good advice. And the Belltech kits are fantastic. So did the OP ever lower his ride?

Hey George the truck is looking great as always.

Thinking about painting my bumpers to match. Mine is a little different now then she was in the pics I posted when this thread started. Now sporting Harley 22's and 305/40/22 tires with the 3/5 drop. No rubbing. No issues with hauling or towing. I can do what I want with it. Gotta love the dumb comments about not being able to haul more than groceries . A 2/4 or 3/5 drop is not going to cause that kind of issue.

^^BlownFord, it was your truck that I read on, your "weekend project" thread that made me decide to go for the Belltech 908 kit. Love the look, even more so with the new rims. I like that you took pics of the kit and of some of the installation. I'm attempting this install myself when the kit comes in and I'm looking for threads like that. Wish I could find more.

indeed: 3/5 drop can't tow anything



5000+ miles of towing last summer.

Awesome. Glad it got you motivated. Feel free to pm me when you do the install. It's not that hard. A little time consuming is all.
