I already have the mcgaughys helper bags but those things don't do anything for the stock springs I'm hopeing when I do drop it they will help but right now the truck is getting two-tone paint then I need to look for some wheels before I do the drop

matt since you've been riding in it what did it settle down to. I know you have 305 40 22 so are you at 32.5 from ground to fenderlip? I know after 75 miles of driving your at 32.75 but just seeing if it went lower since then.

Just got my drop done today. Got everything from NorCalSS. Install went smooth except there was a small issue with the front shocks...

Good thing to know...the stock shocks still have a little travel on a DJM 3" front drop.

Overall, I did this today...

3" DJM arms...
TB drop springs...
DJM rear hardware kit...
BellTech F&R sway bars...
BellTech rear shocks...
KYB steering stabilizer...

After getting the alignment done the truck rides great. DJM front shocks are on the way...the stockers do for a pinch but they're not gonna last.

Awesome setup...I actually want to go a little lower but I'm going to let everything settle in and see where it sits. Here are a few pics....sitting on 22" Boss 330's with 275/40/22 rubber.
