    Here's Besty!

    I'm not sure what drop it is, but it is about 7 1/2" ground to frame rail in front, and 8" in back. Just enough that I have to give her a shove to get my jack under the frame rail.

    Up front is DJM lower control arms, Sway-a-way T-bars, Monroe load adjust coilover shocks. Out back for now is just 3" blocks and Gabriel Load adjust coilover shocks, but once I get the right drop leafs from Belltech out back, I will be tossing the blocks and shocks, going with a much shorter Monroe load adjust coilover.

    They actually are much less stiff than the Nitro Drop 2s that I took off. They have more give, but a stronger spring back, so the ride is noticeably bouncier. But just for the info, they were Monroes #58270.

    Orlando, what size are your wheels? is there a difference in ride height between the gens? you just appear to be as low as me, but sounds like you've done a lot more to drop it.

    ah, I also heard that the drop leafs take a while to settle to their final ride height, was that your experience too?

    umm.....i haven't noticed that they settled, granted my truck has been up on blocks for about 4 years now. So it really hasn't had much weight on the springs....
