Default New pics and a question

New pictures with the new wheels and tires and a bit more drop. My question is: should I go lower? I originally intended to take a half of a coil off of the front and another half off the rears but I'm afraid I'm teetering on that ledge where taking more off might kill my ride. The current setup is:

McGaughy's 2/4 Econo
Stock shocks
305/40/22 tires
Front springs untouched
Rear springs had 1.5 coils cut off
Durango helper bags

Looks perfect to me. Anymore drop and it looks like the tires will start rubbing.

Damn dude... I really wish me and you could have done a actual photo shoot of the trucks while I was down there.

Looks killer Dave

I think lower would look good, but not at the expense of ride quality, the truck looks killer now, and I really like it. Lower would make it stand out a little more and make the truck look less factory to those who don't have a good eye for detail.

The best thing? The truck is filthy in this picture. The last time it was really cleaned up was the MWM.

I'm going to agree with everyone else here and vote to leave it as is.

I like the way it sits now Dave....I am really contemplating a RideTech setup after I get the truck paid off....it allows 5" of drop up front and about 7 in the back.
