So its 2/3 thats wining so far. Ive been searching to see others with 2/3 drops, but I cant picture my truck just yet. My goal is to make it looks sporty as hell.

thanks guys. Husker11111, IMO that 2/3 is one of the best Ive seen.

I really want it to looks sporty as hell, so I may go with the 3/5.5 kit with new shocks and all I think its a DJM kit.

6tahoe I really appreciate the photoshops, damn it makes my truck look good. I notice your 3/5 still has rake.. so this make me want to do the 3/5.5 so I have 0 rake!

Can you expand on this?? What makes the rear drop 5.5" if the spring being used is 4"? Im new to all this drop stuff, and somethings are still confusing. But the look I want to acheive is sporty.

Am I better off peiceing together the correct parts? or stick with a kit?
