    I just lowered the front of my truck with some drop spindles that I got from Skip. Great job packing them man!:waytogo:

    Here is some before and after. Sorry about the quality, cell phone pics:eek: Tell me what you think:

    Looks good! If it were mine I'd try removing the middle leaf from the rear springs and bring the back end down a bit (or just buy some blocks), but the front looks sick with the new spindles.:waytogo:

    I would but then the tires would probably rub. I'm running a 10.5 width rim in the back:nana: I think I'm going to put a different set of wheels on there. Maybe some 17's or 18's. I would like some Starion/Conquest wheels but people want WAY too much money for them.

    Wow, yeah! Those are some wide tires! What is that peaking out under the leaf spring, a ladder bar setup?

    Really it is nothing special. You seen it a million times. But if you want I can get a couple.

    Before I go with the 17 or 18's, I have to convert to power steering. PIA trying to turn wide, low profile tires.
