Went a little lower
After a couple of years, I finally decided to lower my truck a little more. It was subtle, but has the stance I was wanting. Also went to a larger sway bar in front and added one in the back. Mainly had to do this to take out body roll to help prevent the rear tires from rubbing. It is a tight fit in the back! Truck is at the muffler shop to move the mufflers and pipes over to clear the drive line more. The first pic is one from before and the next are with it lowered. was only about 1.5" lower than it was.

Re: Went a little lower
VERY nice truck!
Do you have an adjustable track bar on the rear?
