Here they are (I hope)

DJM 3" control arms, DJM 5" shackles/hangers, and Bell-Tech Nitro Drop shocks. I had to custom fab. some new bump stops. Thing rides alot better than it did before the drop...which I though was odd but sweet.

Here are a few Q's I have for the all-knowing here...
- The fender lips are the part of the fender that curves under and is above the tire, and the plastic is connected to that, correct? If so, how would I go about rolling them under?
- The bottom of my truck is perfectly parallel to the ground...but I have noticable differences in the front and back fender wells. Are the rear wells larger than the front wells....or did I not get a full 5" drop back there. I know you are saying "you should have measured before and after." Well I did. I was rushing and may have measured wrong.

TINT - Yes Yes, I know. I just can't get it through my head to get it done...I'd rather spend my money on other things for the truck, ya know.
Also, I said check out the drop, not the tint!

RIMS - RVM Spades. 20's. Tire size = 275/45/20

Thanks for the complements and suggestions.

They did one I first installed it. When I say alot, I mean...everytime I hit the brakes or hit the meagerest of meager bumps. I costum made myself some bump stops which put an end to that and actually made the truck feel "stock" again.

if you would have got the right offset on the rims it would not be an issue, they do stick out a little too much. jmho
