Hey s.haun, i have never heard of a 2.5 3.5 drop. i know of a 3 4 and a 2 4. your truck has a nice stance. how much was the lowering kit and who was it from? did you do the install your self, if so how hard and how long did it take you. sorry for all the q's. i just ordered a set ot 18" venoms with tires and i am going to lower my truck in about a week so i want to make sure i do everything right. i am probablly gonna go with the belltech 3 4 drop. does anyone have this on their truck? i haven't posted in a while and i am diggin this new message board design.

Hotshot: I basically ordered the parts that come in the so cal kit. My homepage lists all the parts. I installed everything but the hanger kit. I ground off one of the rivets and could never get it out. There's an alignment shop that lowers cars. He charged me $150 to install the hangers and $50 for the alignment.

2manyBLackf150: I did not change the speedometer gear, the OEM tire diameter was 763.4mm and the new is 755.5mm which is only ~1% change.

mark-441: It is actually cheaper to get 20's.....
