    today i installed my 3in. drop for the rear and also pulled the middle leaf out..
    it was fairly easy but challenging at the same time mostly because it was my first time! overall i had fun and look forward to continue working on my truk! here goes some pics...

    That's cool. I roll around in a red truck like that sometimes. It is my Dad's though and he would never let me do that to it.

    your truck is looking good just drop the front to make it level and put smaller tires and it should be the same height as mine. But i would look for 18s, it'll look nicer than with the stock rims and small tires!!
