I did the same procedure that 01Cumminssport did. Remove the factory blocks in the rear and install 2 inch ones. Thats about it. I did have to buy new u bolts but other than that it was cake. I also obviously took the front leveling kit back out as well. I call it the reverse leveling kit. :smilielol: The truck rides so much better now. I did 130mph on the highway yesterday and it felt like I was doing 55. :woohoo:

I ran out of Viagra and lowered trucks are for guys that can't get it up. :smilielol:
Honestly just for that Drag truck look and maybe a little better traction. Like I said before the truck rides sooooo much better now.

dang! and ditto on the whole going to the track thing, but my turbo should be here soon, but i'll still be waiting on a few key pieces like a manifold for the turbo to hang off of and an external gate to regulate boost pressure with.

wow that does look familiar, except for the fact that your truck is alot cleaner than mine, looks good, the ride in fact alot better especially when you put bigger sway bars front and rear with softer suspension, handles like a new sports truck.

Looking good, hopefully it will hook better at the track too.
Now just gotta continue with the blackout with the center caps and stack, maybe some more tint on the tails.

all cape spring will make them up for you while you wait for about $55, just about any spring shop or big truck shop should be able to do it or know where to have it done
