Truck looks really good Josh, I've seen the haingers raised on a single cab shortbed convesion. He raised front and rear the same amount and it looked great. I think he went a total of about 5 inches and used the stock shackles.

I didnt notice any handling differents. I dont know about towing or hauling anything but it made it look awesome

Dropping my overload gave me a great handling. Considering i tow light in comparison to others, My trailer made no impact on sinking the truck. had to adjust the receiver up one notch and all was golden.

Looking forward to meeting up with all you guys, I think I'm leaving the CC behind. If all goes as planned Id like to try a 475 or a 480 over the stocker. But that could all change :D Maybe i'll just come down in a Prius LOL. I'm gonna feel slow....

I won't be going to TS :( can't get any time off for vaca this time of year as our demand at work is crazy. But I will find some time to hit the local test and tune

With the help of my good friend Josh Chambers (chambersj on here), I lowered the rear of mine about 2 more inches last night. It now measures about 4.75" between the top of the tire and the top of the wheel well opening both front and rear. While we were doing it, we also raised the shackle hangers a couple of inches so they don't hang down below the bottom of the roll pan. I'm not sure if anyone else that has a roll pan on their truck has noticed it, but it has always bothered me to see the bottom of those ugly shackle hangers sticking down below everything. It looks so much better now. It also rides much better. I highly recommend putting the front spring hanger brackets in. I'm posting a pic, but please try not to pay too much attention to how filthy my truck is. I don't have much time during the day to wash it, and my weekends have been pretty busy lately.
