Great video. It seems like a lot of work for not much payoff. This video changed my mind about buying these. Thank you. Very nice truck.

Get the 4" drop if you want it lower. Or do the flip kit. I flipped the axle and did the 4" drop. Measured just over 7" of rear drop. Don't do dream means. They break. Do lowering springs up front. Or get lightning front springs. Between 1-2" that way

That thang is purring.. Soundz great!!

Nice Truck! Awesome job!

Clean truck. Looks awesome!!

I'm doing this to my grandmother's truck. Would be a great grocery getting truck for her! She'll be able to get in and out of it easy!😂

You sure made a simple job into a huge project. Wouldn’t want to have you guys touching my truck

Also, how did you mount the fog lights? Did you drill into the bumper or the plastic lip? Very good lookin truck. Mine is a 1996 single cab, short bed, and with the 300 but it's an automatic unfortunately. Mine also has around 190k miles.

Did you ever try hangers? I did and they didn’t fit. It was a pain in the ass and I’m going to have to re use the original hanger + the shackle to atleast drop it a little.
