    That looks good. I've wanted to do mine for a while...other things just keep coming up. What kit did you use or is it bagged? Anymore pics?

    Actually the pic in my signature is a photoshop attempt I made to make my truck look how I want my truck to look like. But I definetly want to lower it, I just wanted to see if anybody could give me some suggestions on what kit.

    Nice looking ride! I just lowered my 4wd 01 Sub. Is yours 4wd?
    I know you will need some very low profile tires since you have 22s. What kind of kit are you looking at?

    no my truck is 2 wheel drive, I have 305/40/22 Nitto Extremes. I believe thier trying to sell me a belltech kit 2" in front and 3" in the back. I told them I wanted to go lower but then I would have to sacrifice my smooth ride????? What kit do you have and how low did it drop? Do you have any more pics?

    Click on the links above for more pics

    www.groundforce.com 2/3drop It has torison keys up front and rear coils with 4 new shocks. I don't know if they make 2wd. I hate to tell you but you may have a hard time fitting those 22s without going with a lower profile and narrower tire. Another thing I hate to say is if you want a smoother ride you may have to go with 20s to have and have a little more sidewall. My stock tires rubbed a little. Your tires are 31.6 tall and my tires are 30.5.
    But your truck is 2wd and mind is 4wd so it could be different. I you plan on towing anything heavy, you may not want to go any lower or you may bottom out. Groundforce is coming out with helper bags that go inside their rear coils. I may have to get them since I have a heavy boat. I haven't had my kit on long enough to see if it bottoms out.
    Goodluck

    Actually the place (TRADERS) where I got my quote from said that my rim/tire size is perfect for that drop. They said they have done it many times so I hope thier right. How is the ride on your burb? Also have you noticed any uneven tire wear?
