you guys are killing me. this is the only sneak peak you get as i didn't want to post pics until i'm done.

sitting on 265/65/18's. according to tony's measurements, the ass should settle down about 1 1/2 or more inches plus i don't have a spare either. the ride is better then stock imo.

whats the measurements? Thanks for teh pic also. lol. Settle 1 1/2 more inches. only way i got that much more of a drop was when i changed out the stock shocks for bilsteins. But looks good.

Yes you wont get 1.5 inches but 1/2 should get more.

on that truck with no spare on that tire 33.5 is what you should be at.

djm shocks.

it's the kit you set me up with last week.

i'm around 33.5. measured yesterday when i was done and the drivers side was 33 1/4 and the passenger side was 33 7/8.

i have no idea what it would settle but i was just basing the 1.5" of settling off what tony said it would drop considering measuring before and after fender measurements it has only dropped about 3.5". he said i should get about 5.25-5.5" of drop out of those springs.

If you want another 1.5 more than what you have now you would need to notch it.

DIFFERENT trucks in rear came with different springs. 33.5 is right for the tire you have like i said. That never changes where they sit after the springs thats why I try to put the ground to fenderlip measurements also.

was it bottoming out in the rear. RUb is from the offset and tire. Helper bags will help it from staying slammed when people are in the back.

I wonder how much weight you had in there?? speaker box and 3 people so what like 400 pounds extra?

it was bottoming out and rubbing lol...im workin on that panhard bar, so that should take care of most of the rubbing, but the ride is just rough in the back..just as bad as before, but it sits lower..its this way with or without people, im just hoping the panhard fixes some of that..

I prolly had alot of weight back there lol..3 kids 200 lbs each, plus maybe another 100 from the system...so enough..

ill be getting some bags one of these days anyway..

they are like 80 bucks and trust me help a lot.

any better shots yet max? still rolling the 30" tires?

also the djm spring has a wider diameter which for loading is better since you can fit a bigger bag in
