Oh yeah, I listen to rap and where airforces. I need to have a lowered truck but its too much work to convince the woman to do that. Now I just bought sick *** wheels and tires so I will be high for a while to come.

Any who I love lowered trucks. Its what made me want a pick up in the first place.

The SRT 666 is the best.

The rear is slightly higher than the front, as all of you know.
Am I save in assuming this item will help me level it out somewhat ?

Thanks for your time, T.
Tom,
That link is showing a wrong picture for 2" drop shackles used on owr trucks. Our shackles are shorties. I'll have a pair available next month when I do my flip kit.

my current dodge is the first truck that I havent massively static dropped or bagged since high school.

Dropped trucks ALWAYS have a stigma. I have caught more flak than I can remember. I dont know if people are just that dense that they cant figure out that everybody is different or what. I wouldnt date your weirdass girlfriend. I wouldnt eat your moms weirdass artichoke dip. I like what I like. You like what you like. If you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all.

Yes, but keep in mind that they use stock length shocks and the geomentry isn't changed so there is only the regular maintenance issues with the front end. Eating tires, special shocks and replacing ball joints are also not cheap. IMHO, it is the right way to drop or lift a front end.
