Want to close the wheel well gaps. This is my setup as of now.

Front
2 inch bell tech spindles
2 inch lower keys
Short bell tech sp shock
Bell tech front camber kit.
Stock bumps stop not modified

32 ground to fender lip keys are cranked up somewhat.

Rear
Tony's custom 6 inch springs
Djm hardware kit
Spohn panhard bar
Helper bags
Free travel mod
Short Bell tech sp shock
Isolators still in

32.5 ground to fender lip 5 psi in bags at the moment.

So I want to get down to to 30 or 31 with out changing tire size. Was wondering if 2500 keys and modify bump stops would be better then 2 inch keys with modify bump stops. Pretty sure not much I can do on the rear but I do have 3 inch djm springs which I'm thinking I can cut to get where I want to. There's a ton of good advice on here and tony already hooked me up with great parts. Do just looking for some advice thanks guys.

the 2500 keys are the same as the 2" drop keys u have now. you would need to get the 3" djm lower control arms to go lower without ride quality suffering. the rear either cut some springs or bag it.

I like your stance now. As Roger said, keys are the same.

Thanks guys. Good to know a about the 2500 keys that what I was wondering if same not. I don't mind the ride up front gonna decrank them a little and tirm and drill stock bump stops try that then if not get a set of z71 stops and mess with them. I'm kinda kicking my self should of just bagged rear from start thought 6 inch spring were gonna bring it done enough. Prob try cutting the other springs first see what that brings me.

Quick question on the bags if I went with like 2600 pancake bags those still good for towing? Got a boat I tow.

One last question off topic how do I upload larger photos with in the thread part?

Thanks

Good thought. Was on my mind I believe meangreen03 did a body drop using s10 mounts take it that's the same? Pros and cons to that tho? I do personally like the idea and not scared of doing it but does front bumper need to be lowered to work and roll pan is in my future so rear wouldn't be a problem. Slipping is it just the rubber you have don't you need to modify cup or use blazer ones? Are you interested in letting them go if I decide to go that way. Thanks.

Been a while since I read that thread, but I believe you have to cut the upper cups a little.

Ill save for when your ready for them
