Lowered my L today

[xxSection8xx]

I finally pieced everything together and lowered my truck today. I went with JLP shackles set on the last hole and Strange adjustable shocks in the rear. I used RUSlow 1000lbs spring with half a coil cut off in the front. Measured from wheel center to fender lip the front measures 16 1/4" and the rear 18". I want to get the Hotchkis leafs to lower the rear a little more and pick up a set of adjustable shocks for the front. Are the QA1's the only adjustable front shocks that will fit our trucks?

Here is a before shot.

And a quick after shot. I will get another tomorrow during the day.

And let me tell you the drivers side shocks are no fun.

:rockon: Looks good, now watch out for your front fascia so you don't mark your territory everywhere you go :-D.

Looks good, Any thoughts of changing the wheels?

Im going to have to watch parking curbs. I have the tendency to pull the bumper over them.

I do want to change the wheels out but that is probably going to have to wait a while. The only wheel i found that i really like will probably set me back like $4k. Im not even sure if they make them to fit.
Here they are

Looks great, I kinda want to put that lowering kit on my truck looks good! And I find it hard to spend 4k on some wheels but they sure will look nice on the your truck.

I think the Timeless 2's would look alot better on your L IMO....

I just put a set of QA1's on the front of mine. Mine still has the stock coils on the front. but I do have the rear lowered. I just put the 2" shackles on the rear.
