Trucks as always looking great!!
as far as one more inch, I wouldn't cut the coils. But recently I did read that you can cut the coils a bit, just flatten the end you cut...did you take the stock rubber pads off the coils when you put the new ones on? also shock extenders, do you have those?

i did take the rubber pads off and i got the djm hardware kit and new shocks so no extenders needed, so im hoping they will settle in time and go lower but i think thats just wishful thinking, or maybe when i drop the front it will help the back some i hope

no the rear still at 33.5 and the front went down to 32.5 but i'm happy with it i'm going to leave it alone for a while and see what happens maybe it will settle but i like the way it sits now. i priced the kit low so i can buy me the adj. panhard bar
