Installed mines today and it took about a total of 7 hrs... I am slow :cry::):cry: That said; I love the look.
I have the helper airbags for towing but have NOT added my trailer to see difference.
what drop is this? Looks like a 2/4....

Where did you get the upgraded rotors?
Good eye...

https://brakeperformance.com/ There prices are good and the difference is slightly noticeable in a positive way. LOVE THEM
They have great customer service and a good selection of rotors. Cross drilled, slotted, and dimpled - I have dimpled on the front for the demanding braking of this beast....LOL Pricing is awesome on the rotors as well... I did get them around Christmas.

do you guys think the 2 in rear drop will effect towing a lot? for the guys with experience and these springs. Also, how hard would it be to put a set of larger rims to fill the wheel gap a bit more. Reprogram wise.

I've been towing a "smaller" box trailer for the past few weeks, with no difficulty at all. I haven't even installed my bags, yet.

I installed mine this weekend as well. I absolutely love how she handles with the 2" drop combined with the Hellwig rear swaybar. Here's a before and after, the before pic is kind of hard to see the gap in the rear, but it's all I have. The rear is a little over an inch taller than the front, which is perfect to me because I won't sag when hauling my street bike.

Springs installed waiting for my Hellwig to arrive. Next up some 22s and start with LED taillights. Glad I found this thread definitely looks much better than raising the front to level out

Ordered my Maxtrac 2"/4" kit yesterday, should be here Tuesday. Going to install my Hellwig sway bar this weekend.


Is your truck 2wd or 4wd? I am curious about the 2/4 kit myself but my truck is a 4wd. I did order the 2" drop springs for the rear. Installing them this week.
