Yeah im sure those tires drop your mpg by a mile or two. If I ever had a designated off road toy that I didnt have to drive on the street I'd get a set. I definitely like your truck lowered though, looks great!

Looks really good, have you decided on rims and tires yet. Those 22 inch SRT/10 in the shaded black color would look killer, and welcome to DF.

About: How much? How hard? and How long for the switch over to do this?

Got any build pictures as you were working this?

it took about an hour for the front springs. probably would have taken less time but the spindles were rusted to the control arms. the rear took about 3 hours. and thats using 2 jacks, 3 jack stands, a buddy, and hand tools. considering i spent about 3 days researching and trying to find pics on this install (i had no idea what i was doing). it basically went together using common sence. the brackets, spring plates, shackles... they can only be installed one way. so through trial and error, anyone whos not a total idiot can install a drop... as of now i would really love to put some blacked out srt-10 22's on the truck, but money's tight... but trust me! im not keepin those 17's on for long, ugly 20's are still 20's.
