i hate when people get rides already equipped with wheels. no offense OP.

i can't vouch for that kit, as i don't have it. i have spindles and coils on the same size tires and i LOVE it. lower that hoe asap.

I'm lowering my truck next week. Any reason i should not buy this kit?

http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=144

My truck is an 08 with out autoride with about 107k miles. I have 305/30/26s. Its time for new shocks and struts and I want to go lower. I don't see the need for the more expensive kits that include spindles, but please correct me if i'm wrong.

with 107k miles i would do that kit you will start with fresh shocks. heres the thing bringing the rear down to 4 I would cut off the bumpstop bracket. Even at 3 inch drop if you laod up the rear will bottom out. If you cut the bracket off the ride is MUCH better and you have a lot more travel.

What makes you think I bought my truck this way? I've had it for 2 years and has 22's on it for almost half the time.

Thanks for the help! I'm guessing 2/3 wont be low enough but it'll be a good start.

I found 2/3 to be lower than I thought, I think it is a good height. And if you can just add spindles and a new coil to it later then there's no reason not to get it

Man them wheels are clean. Too bad they are discontinue...

You can still buy them from many places for about $1,100 each
