New Spot To Play In...

I guess I can come play in the "Street Truck" section now that I'm no longer lifted. Here's a couple pics of my newest mods

can you get me a good side shot of your truck? I was going to do a flip kit on the rear, but if I can get a decent stance by removing one leaf, I might do that instead.

Also, how heavy were your wheels / tires?

BOSS Wheels - BOSS 330

Looks like 35lbs each for the rims, then add the tire weight. Stock SE rims (16" alloy ones like mine on my truck) are 23lbs each, then add the tire weight and I suppose the TPMS add a few ounces too if you want to get technical.

I guess I can hang out in both. I'm neither lifted nor dropped.
Although, I'd like to be leveled. Maybe take out one leaf in the rear when i do the sway bar?
Has anybody done that to level the truck in the rear rather than jacking up the front to level it?

Sorry in advance about the thread jack.

I'd like to know more so go ahead and do it Drew and let me know what if any issues/problems/side effects you have. I imagine it would lessen my bed weight allowance, but with a five foot bed I can't carry a whole lot back there anyway. It's not like I ever carry anything heavy either.

Guys, my measurement is right at 33" from ground to center of arch (front & rear). This thing is nearly level. There are bigger pics in my gallery. As far as which leaf, I removed the longest leaf, or first one down from the top (mounting) leaf.

I don't have any straight-on side shots. This is about the best I have...

hrm.....I was looking for more than 1.25"/3" drop...........I guess I'll have to see it to know for sure. I was thinking something more like a 3/5 in the long run.
