Add a spacer to your Belltech shocks to bring it up an inch, then get either DJM 2" lowering control arms or 2" lowering coils to bring it down to 4.5" total in front. Also you can use your factory shackles to bring it down another inch in the rear

EIve been scoping your posts and looking at pics of your truck all week tryin to compair. Let me ask you this, I got the Ford 22" wheels 44 offset, why does my front seem like it will clip the fender lip if i go to low but the back seems to tuck? If will tuck in front i wouldnt be worried bout going to low... Also how much travel should i leave? Neither of my other trucks have the problems this body style has. I was grinding my tranny cross member at 1" clearance before the 22's, now the 22 is to high but looks like it could cause fender trouble if i go much lower... Also as far as coils, Id be able to align it ok seeing how id bring the Strurs up a bit?

The front wheels stick further out than the rear wheels. It's the same on my truck too. I would go with aftermarket control arms over lowering coils any day

Yeah Ive heard coils are the cheap way & it would give me alignment issues im sure. I'll grab the 2" A- arm & be all set, i wont have to touch my strut or alignment, i can handle 5.5 drop up front since the wheels just raised it 4"'s, and i have 3.5" clearance to the fender lip now. I was lower than that with the 18's. Then I'll throw Shackles on and just have to figure out how many shims i need.
