love to see 'em. i already did the 2/2 and am not quite sure about the rear, but i really hate when the drop makes the ass end look down hill if you know what i'm saying. i may end up buying hangers and doing it anyway so i'd really like to see it.

Re: anyone have any 2/2 drop pics?

Are your tires sized the same in the back and front?
I was talking to a guy at Speedway Repair ( or something like that - just south of the Speedway on 99). He has an '03 or '04 Chev thats always parked out front. He said that with the like size tires the rear would actually be lower than the front with 2"/4" drop?
Yours looks even so I am curious.
Also, are you having any problems with bottoming in the back? I was looking at mine and it looked like there is barely 5" between the axle and the frame (didn't actually measure it but it looks tight!). This guy at SR said he cut the snubber off and occasionaly bottoms the back.
Trying to get some idea before I commit to buying a kit.
Thanks

now that looks good. it's even the right color. what brand stuff did you use?
i used belltech 2" drop springs in front and 2" shackles in the rear. there is too much rake. i think i'm going to get the spring hangers and finish it off. if it's too low in the back i can always get 1" back by using the lower hole in the shackle.
