Default RE: Lowering Kit

im almost finished lowering mine.. i went with a 3/5 kit 3 inches lower in the front and 5 in the rear. did the front about 3 months ago and was very quick and easy but after about 2 months noticed the shocks are almost shot.. i believe this is due to not lowering the entire truck and putting extra weight on the front end. i am right now 90% finished lowering the rear.. just gotta move the gas tank to install the new leaf mount.. oh man was it a pain in the a** removing the factory mounts.. the rest if the process was cake.

oh yea i put the wrong bump stops on the front and they get used a little too often lol

Can you send me pictures of your truck. So I can get a idea of what it will look like, and what kind of kit you got and how much it was.
