Default 2018 screw piece together lowering kit

ordered crown 2” lowering shackles and full set of Belltech struts and shocks, probably going to set them at 2” or so, maybe machine a spacer to get it to 1.5” or so. I will see what happens when I lower it. I hope there is a little rake left in it. Going to be on stock 20’s.

Here is how she sits today before the kit.

The before measurements will be skewed, as I have bilstein 5100’s at max height on the front right now and a 1.75” block on the rear of the truck. Also, to lower the truck I ended up buying a 2” drop shackle as well as the ground force 1.5/2.5” kit. Only using the front coils and the corrective spacers. Belltech is backordered. Parts should be in Tuesday and install Tuesday night! Pics soon to follow the install

Finished up finally, 1.5” ground force springs, 2” drop shackle out back. 35.25” out front and 36.5” out back. Perfect rake for me. I love it. Nice and simple.

2wd strut vs. 4wd strut..... since most of the people seem to say the struts are the same except for the perches.
