Default 18 XLT Screw 2wd Belltech 1000sp drop done

So got my Belltech 1000sp kit installed yesterday and I am loving it. I had it immediately aligned since it had 5* of toe lol. It feels like it rides better, and is much easier to load my bikes in the bed. I’m going to try a 1” spacer to push the wheels out a bit. Unfortunately it was raining when I picked it up today so not too many pics...

they are the racerinnovation or apex auto models with switchbacks sold on eBay and Amazon. They have projector lenses for high and low beam which I added H7 LED’s to and they were 100% plug and play. They look great, and the light output is focused and 10x better than it was as Halogen. I posted a thread with more pics and install instructions in the lightning area of the forum, they were $500

That looks great! Any drive line vibrations and any certain speeds?

zero issues with driveline. They have engineered the spring pads in the kit to be directional and they compensate for the angle of adjustment with the axle flip to prevent that very problem now.

the Belltech 1000sp is a 3/5 kit?

I am am looking to get a 2/4 drop and avoid the rear flip if possible. Can’t say I am too crazy about messing with coil springs either!

What size wheels and tires are you running on your setup? Also how hard was the install of the kit?

I have the stock sport 20's with a 1.25" spacer and 275/55/20 stock tires on it.
The install is pretty straight forward, I used to own a performance shop in Dallas so I had my old partner knock it out at the shop this time in about 6 hours.
My last truck I did a maxtrac kit on mine and my friends on a lift and we did both in about 7 hours one day. The front struts honestly take the longest IMO

Truck looks good but what is the reason for the 1.25" spacers with the stock wheels and tires?
From the photos the wheels don't appear to be outboard 1.25" .
