Is that jMart's old truck?

Nope. There was another one that popped up in Texas right after I painted mine. I think this is it. Mine ended up in western Arkansas.

Probably. Looks like you have a reasonable amount of clearance.

It does but the springs are soft I guess..

Man i tried to buy yours but the timing wasn't right for me. What drop did you have on it again?

DJM 3-5". Dream beams up front, shackles and hangers in the rear. 20x9 wheels with 0 offset. Don't remember the tire size.

I still kick myself for selling that truck.

That's what this one has but it sits quite a bit lower in the front. I guess I'll get some new springs for it
And the rear end rides like a tank too

Yeah it rode like sh!t. I changed out the rear bump stops, but it really needed a C notch in the rear. My front would rub the fender liner if I hit a big enough bump. It sucked as a daily driver on concrete roads, which is all of them in my area.

That's the reason I decided to get rid of mine, the roads are not well suited for lowered rcsb around here, also I needed a truck I could leave outside and not care

I have the DJM shackle kit on mine. I removed the overload spring and the middle leaf and the bumpstop and mine is so much better now. It makes going over speed bumps bearable.

I need to look at rear springs again, but the axle is pretty far from the frame.

I don't even know what springs this has in the rear, I'll need to double some measurements from other lowered 2wd on here

I just looked at some pictures of yours and it definitely sits lower in the rear than mine.

Yeah, I might build another one when I can afford to have two nice trucks. I wanted another CC 4x4 and didn't want a payment so I had to sell my shorty to buy another truck.

I removed the bottom leaves on mine. I still have those heavy ass mfers in the garage. LOL

How many did you take out? I don't really care to make it any lower but just improve the ride

I just took the thick one out of the bottom. It looks like an overload so it just made it sit lower. I would try one off the other ones to make it softer.

I'm going off memory since I'm at work but I don't think I have those thick bottom springs like on my crew cab. I'll try pulling off another one in the pack

For reference mine had DJM rear shackles, likely all the pictures I had taken showed it with the 2nd to lowest possible setting with the DJM, and also I took out a leaf spring on each side.

I'll dig into it a little more this weekend, I have been just driving it since I got the injectors back. I'll double check the shackles when I get off

I know this one doesn't have a short bed YET, but it will as soon as I find a bed for it. But I removed The overload leaf and one thin leaf and this is how it currently sits.

Sorry to see that man. Looks like someone will be getting a bed and some new paint? Might be hard to match the original so you may get a whole new paint job out of it. :toast:

So I am thinking of going one color. Choices would be between tux black, or the new vette lime rock green.
