Default I'm gonna pull the trigger!

Looking to finally pull the trigger on my lowering my truck. My new Nitto 420v 305/20r20 tires will be here wensday, I know these are wider, but I wanted the wider tire on a factory wheel.

So since my truck is 4x4 and I will be using the factory wheel which would you guys recommend.

Going full Belltech 1001sp and doing a 3" drop in front and 5.5" in rear.

Us the Belltech Struts and go 2" drop in front and do a drop shackle in rear combined with the rear block removal I have already done.

I never tow a ton in the bed, use to haul a lot but that's done and over with.

For the Price I could piece the drop together for $320is for the 2/4 is combo I wanna do (which really would be 2/3.5)

Or the Belltech 1001sp kit for $634


Edit..I'm also thinking i could maybe sell my factory running boards for some cash if I went with the 1001sp kit

I actually got these rims from when I worked at the local dealership. I still want the 15-17 Sport Wheels but these will do.

I am actually gonna do a 1/4 wheel spacer to get the tires a little further out and then I'm ready to see how it looks with the 2/2 drop.

I added 2" drop shackles on the rear to level mine out.
