Default 2-4 drop

hey guys, got some new pics today after alittle wash job and some tire shine !!! i think i have got the truck down where i want it for now. didn't want a low rider just a sport truck look. after cut front coil springs with monroe struts for the front . for the rear went with lowering shackles-a set of shorter Toxic shocks-shorter bump stops- 2nd from the bottom leaf removed -and a set of Air Lift (slam air) air bags (truck still has to work) i think i got it. running 275-45/20's on front and some 295-45/20's on the rear. the ride is not all that bad with 45 series tires and it being lowered for our trucks. what do yall think ?

Looks pretty nice. How much did the handling improve from that drop?

Looks great, that is what I'm working on now minus trimming the coils.

You did an excellent job. Looks great. The wider tires in the rear were a really good choice. Thats a pretty wide tire for the street, and it looks excellent back there. Didn't know Toxic shocks had a PN for our trucks? (or did you just get a set based on measurment?).

Either way, perfect.

The only thing I'm surprised you kept is the rear mud flaps, but it doesn't look bad anyway.
