That looks freaking awesome. So what was the total amount dropped up front. What size wheels are you running?

Did the front and adjusted the struts down for a slight rake. Used Fox shocks in the rear and used my Ground Force lowering springs with the Belltech struts up front. I can honestly say the ride is as smooth if not slightly smoother then the Ground Force kit. No vibration, rides nice, looks good. I’m very pleased with the results.
Do you have traction bars on there?

I haven’t measured yet, but its a 2/4 kit and I’d bet it’s pretty dam close.

Wheels are Dub 20x9 +30. 305/50/20 tires. No running at all. Running caltrac bars, still need adjusting, but they are pretty dam low. I’m going to set them and may end up cutting some of the lower bracket off

I guess what I should have asked was did you do the full 2” up front lol

I just got my kit installed yesterday and the front looks a little higher then the rear but I’m assuming I have to wait and see how it settles. I don’t have any vibrations and no problems. I did notice that when I go over bumps the front makes a rattle noise but everything feels fine. Any ideas on that? I will post some pics later today if it isn’t raining.

The front is adjustable so you can try and drop it a bit more. The noise I’d go through and make sure everything is torqued down good

Yeah that’s what I was gonna do just seeing if anyone else noticed a “noise”. I’m gonna wait a week and see if it settles in the front.

So here it is the same 2/4 Belltech kit. The mechanic told me to wait a little bit and see if the front would settle a little bit. New wheels go on Friday.
