You can see in this pic how close it is to the axle.

Looks like it's right on top of the axle.

Tony Luke says the front will settle after I drive it a bit.... So now I dont know if I want to DE-crank the keys and drop the front an inch or add the pucks in back and raise it up an inch on the rear.
We still have to do the free travel mod, check the torque on everything and align it. SO we will see what happens.....ill think on it over the weekend.

Brief impressions of setup:
Overall, the ride is firm but not stiff. For me, it's low, but not too low to where I have to worry about scraping. It's a great daily height.

K, so wanting to go lower. Plan to get the Belltech 2/4 kit with spindles from Tony.

Question is, can I run stock 275-55-20's with no rubbing issues? I will be installing helper bags also.

Thanks!

I really like those rims. Just a nice, clean look. What size are they? Truck looks great.

Thanks T! They're the OEM 20's that came on the TX edition and VMAX trucks. Tires are 275/55/20 (stock).

-Just ordered Belltech 2508 Spindles, new Lower Ball Joints, Moog Offset UCAs, and Tie-Rod ends. Also ordered @tonynoralss rear kit to drop another 1.5". Putting Stock keys back in and decranking a little.

Brief impressions of setup:
Right now the truck rides stiff as hell. But little to no body roll which is a plus. Hopefully when all other upgrades are installed itll ride better and align correctly
