I was wondering if you guys good give me some options on lowering my yuk and prices also. I would love to do some bags, but its a lil pricey. Also, if i did run bags, and set the frame on the ground, whats the biggest rims i can go without having to use rubberbands (super low pros). Preciate the help guys.

I went with a 4/4 bell tech kit. I love it. Not too low. Kit was around 700$ cad. I run 265/30/22. A little stiff but not too bad after you get used to it.

I have Belltech 2" drop spindles up front with about 2" cut out of the stock springs. The advantage of cutting the stock spring is that you can choose the ride height you want. The rear has a flip kit, a 4" shackle/hanger kit, and air bags. The bags just give me a little lift for hauling and towing. This set-up rides real nice. I am running 18's up front and 20's in the rear. I will be going to 20's in the front as soon as the $$$$cash is available.

I went 4" in front with spidles and springs and 4" in the rear with a djm flip kit which drops it 6" then their hangers and shackle bring it back to about 3-3/4". I think the djm kit is a ************* and very badly designed. (and I didn't just start doing this) If I had it to do over I would just stick with belltech. I'll have to put some pictures up when I get some time.

My question is- you guys that are lower how are you getting away with it? My driveshaft sometimes rubs the crossmember under acceleration. I haven't driven it much since I dropped it but I think the brake line tee is sometimes hitting the floor too.

I notched mine.

Why would you run a Flip and Hanger. That will just work against eachother,
