Dropped my truck this weekend.

[4point0]

I lowered my truck this weekend. 2 inches in the front and 4 inches in the back. They say these kits are "bolt on"... that is a lie. I had to bust out the plasma cutting a couple times. Overall it was a pretty simple install. You just have to get creative.

I still have to make my new exhaust system and put my new rotors on.

That is the only "before" picture I have to compare the difference.

So is it level with the 2 different amounts you lowered it?

I'm not really into the whole lowered truck thing, but it looks like yours is tastefully done.

Yes, It is level now. I am thinking about adding bags in the back so it will be level when I tow my Jeep around.

I've always thought they looked cool and this is the first pickup truck I've ever owned... so I figured, why not? I thought it turned out pretty cool. It's not 4WD so it'd be useless to lift it.

mmm... Airbags? body drop? :P

X2, but those jeeps in the back are really nice especially the CJ.

I wish I had the funds and the time to do full bags and body drop. This truck is my daily driver though. I was just considering a simple leveling bag setup for the back.

I've never been a fan of just rear bags... and with your truck level already anyways, i don't see much of a point. Although, one thing that well definitely clean the look up is taking that rear bumper off and getting a smooth roll pan... Will definitely look great on that truck.

I thought it was a nice looking modification and tastefully done. A lowered truck can look very good if done right, very good job!

If you think it looks good, and it makes you happy then do it!

[Rykker]

i like that.

I agree. I think the truck looks great. Especially all blacked out.

He's not talking air bags to level it now. But, air bags to keep it level when he uses it as a tow rig.

I like it lowered. Looks slick. Especially with those rims. I'd find better HALO lights though. Those look retarded. I'm sure someone made some better ones then that. ;)

The paint is the 12 year old factory paint. It's in pretty darn good shape. I did a little bit of sanding and buffing just to clean it up a bit.

I haven't really come across anything that looks much better. I got those lights off of ebay for like $180 including bulbs. If I stumble across some halo's that look substantially better I will consider upgrading. But for now... these are cheap and they work.

And yes you are right, I want rear bags to level when I tow heavy stuff. I would be willing to bet that if I hooked up the trailer right now with a Jeep on it, my frame would be resting on the axle.

I have been looking into doing this. I have a few ideas that I'd like to try. I'd also like to shave the handle off the tailgate but I'm gonna wait 'til I am ready to paint the whole truck.
