Dropped the LML on 22's...
  • 2" Mcgaughys drop shackle
  • Pulled the 2nd from top leaf spring
  • Dropped the front torsions to roughly 1/4-1/2" lower than the rear fender clearance
  • 22x10 -25 offset American Force Compass
  • 305/45r22 Nitto 420
  • Spaced the front bumper 5/8" forward
Zip tied the lower fender liner forward on the bumper side and used a 5lb hammer to massage the kick panel trim back a tad. Minimal rubbing with zero cutting. There are still a few little things to do but this is a decent look at it for now.

Truck looks great!!
What is the total height of the truck now? My uncle is wanting to buy one but it wont fit into his garage because it's to tall. I think this may be his answer.
How does it ride compared to factory?
Thanks

Thanks gents. I think it turned out good enough for the girls I go with! Lol

Umm, when do want me to come pick it up now that your done with it...:thumb: :hug:

What wheels are those..?

American Force Compass

Looks great, what did those wheels set you back?

Scored them used for a little less than dealer cost with some 285/55r22 nitto M/T. Had them polished up and sealed before installing.

Have any pics of it from front or back?

I will have to snag a pic or 2 this weekend for you. I won't be home in the daylight at all this week. They do stick out quite a bit being a -25 offset. It's not terrible though. Decent stance for the height.

If I can remember, I will try to grab a measurement. It clears my garage by quite a bit. I would say it dropped the cab height by roughly 2-3" from stock.

The ride is virtually the same as stock. The big bumps, like a speed bump, will catch the overloads a little quicker at a moderate speed. My wife is very picky and she has not noticed a difference. I am running the tires at 40psi as well.
