Front:

3" Bell tech spindles
2" springs (looks like i only got about 1.5" from them, I am guessing my stock springs were tired)
Nitro 2 drop shocks

Rear:

4" Hangers, 4" shackles from Western Chassis
Drop shocks from Western Chassis
Overload spring removed, 4 leafs removed from pack
Got about 6"

Tennessee Wheel and Tire TowNasty's 22.5, 235/40R22.5 tires, Running stock inner dually wheel and tire set up 215/85R16.

Rear Gear swap now has Yukon 3.54's instead of the 4.10's

Sanderson Headers, dual Magnaflow 24" mufflers (up and over the axle)

She is far from complete, but she is very close.

Still need window tint, paint, figure out the rear helper bag situation, front grill and lights, and figure out a few little electrical issues.
Thanks for all your help on this forum, I could not have done it without you guys holding my hand all the way.

So you can actually get low-profile light truck tires in a 22.5 now? In the past, didn't you have to get the rims turned down to fit 22's?

So... I gotta be that guy. I honestly hate the look. I recognize the quality of work, and I think you did a good job. But to me this is like donking a Caprice. The first picture is a beautiful truck. The others... wow I honestly cannot describe the blah factor. There's a guy in town with a newer dually just like that. Driving down the road it just looks silly.

But hey. To each his own. It looks like you did a good job so kudos there.

All that aside, wanna sell the old running boards? lol

I don't understand why anyone would join a discussion with the subject matter of "lowered and street systems" and bash the owner with negative comments. If you don't care for lowered vehicles, then fine, thats your opinion. Sugar coating your post with a few atta boys after wards???? That's like saying..."You're fat and ugly, but at least you can diet".

Hey, opinions are like butt holes. Everyone's got one. I just happened to think that the lowered/big wheel thing is a tad ridiculous, however I recognize the quality of work that went into it. Sort-of like the donks etc out there. I think they are silly but at the same time I get that some people like that.

This one just frustrated me because the truck he started with was amazing. If he had started with a heap, I would not have been so against it.

As I said before, to each his own. However, if you don't want negative feedback then stay off the internet. I've got no beef with the OP, I just don't happen to like what he did to an otherwise perfect looking truck. That's all. Nothing personal. So no need to get all butt-hurt on his behalf.

You are going to have to explain that comment. PM me if you like so we don't clutter up the OP's thread.
