r8rs4lf Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Drivetrain: AWD/RWD AWD Drop: Front/Rear (inches) Supposed to be a 2/4, but I would venture to say it's something like a 3/3.5 since I also turned the keys a bit. Front: Spindles/Keys Spindles and turned the torsions a few turns. Rear: Leafs/ Shackles and Hangers shackles and hangers/I also have the McGaughy's helper bags in the rear. Adjustment: Shims/ Carrier bearing relocator bracket N/A Shocks: Brand/Model Belltech Nitro Actives Other: Swaybars/Bumpstops Fully adjustable rear swaybar and thicker front, both aftermarket/stock bumpstops (rear was removed from bracket and attached directly to the frame and one nub was cut off the fronts) Total Cost: (ballpark range) Maybe somewhere in the neighborhood of $1200.00 for parts and $300.00 for installation.

kelleyperformance Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 kaotik your truck must be like 5" drop up front right? if the tire is 31.5" tall, and your fender is 27" off the ground, your tucking quite a bit of tire right?
