Brief impressions of setup:
Rides better than stock imo with the vehicle weight evenly distributed.
And even though it's only a leveled drop it gives it a much cleaner look without sacrificing any ride quality.

While I don't care for the look of the missing rear bumper (I guess I'm just use to seeing them with a read bumper), the truck looks very nice.

I'd love to see it with black powder coat on those rims!
