I meant the OP. I'm assuming he's in Florida given his screen name. I saw on your info bar where you are.

The lowering kit was on back order and did not get delivered until mid January. Finally had time and I installed the kit this weekend. At this time the front is a little to low compared to the back. Once the back settles I will adjust to get the look I want and then get the alignment done next weekend. I will post pics once it is complete.

The ride is very sporty but can be a little rough. I did install with my Z71 shocks since they are still good. I am wondering if I need to get different shocks.

my front rides ok on smooth roads but is VERY bumpy on ****** roads. i had to drive down several brick/cobblestone streets in tampa last week and was losing my mind it rode so bad! i still have the oem shocks on the front. dont know if swapping them out for some hd bilsteins would help or not.

The pic is not that good, need to take it before it gets dark.

Also adjusted the front, think I like it when it was a little lower.
