Want to lower my truck, but is this correct?

[AR.223]

I’m hoping if someone can tell me if this person installed it wrong. Or if that’s just how it turns out. Found this picture under the reviews for the product. I read once that someone had install theirs wrong by indexing off the wrong leaf spring retaining pin and caused the rear tires being way forward.

That is definitely not correct.

Properly done kit should turn out more like this:

Thanks! May I ask what kit you’re using. Looks good!

It's not a specific kit, it's a mix.

Belltech adjustable Coilovers up front with (can't remember brand) upper control arms.

Maxtrac 6" rear flip kit with Ridetech lift hangers and fox drop shocks to get it roughly overall 3/5 drop.

My Ridetech kit is the best riding lowering kit I've ever used. I've used Belltech and VAS with Dual Adjustable Viking shocks. I will never use another kit.

Currently my truck is around 3/4. I'm waiting on some parts to be painted before my exhaust is modified to lower the rear another inch.

How does it ride bro?

How does it ride bro?

As good as it can with 24" wheels. I swapped to my winter 22" and noticeable improvement.

I've been through many lowered trucks and this one is the most tolerable as a DD, but it's still a lowered truck with large diameter wheels.

I lower everything I own and I am still undecided on the truck. I don't want to do a 3/5 but something closer to a 2/4. I think your kit may suffice since aI see maxTrac has a 4" rear flip kit.

My RideTech lowered '22...

Wheels should definitely be centered in the wheel well! lol

That is a beautiful leveling job. I'd love to get mine like yours. May I ask how did the leveling set you back. I really like your color. ?

Looks like I’m going with ridetech, now Time to find wheels
