Finally did a drop - 4/5

I posted pics on "What did you do to your truck today", but decided to also make a post separate. Very happy with the drop that was just done on my truck - that with a disc brake upgrade up front. Made a night and day difference in driving and also stopping! Drop spindles and 2" springs up front, 3" springs in back with 2 inch blocks.
