We are keeping it for now, but I think there's a 20" wheel in the future. When we got the truck the front was lowered by cutting a coil (or more) off a set of CPP 2" lowering springs and the rear had -5" CPP springs. The scary thing was the front springs were so short we took them out without disconnecting the spindle or even the shock! Dangerous!! We bought a set of 2.5" drop spindles, -1.5" front springs, and -6" rear springs. So far it looks like the front is about the same height (but level) and the rear is about 1/2" lower. I'm fine if it stays right there, but I'm sure the springs will settle a bit.
