Optical illusion? or something is severely preventing full droop of the suspension.
Dunno...hard to tell!

Thanks for voting me ROTW. And thanks for the email notification that I won.

Rear tire was off the ground, traction bars probably played a part in that but big rear springs aren't the best for flexing.

Here's a few more current pics from earlier this year.......only have 52k on the odometer.

A few of the more noticeable upgrades since the pics posted are that I ditched the toolbox (it's on my 07 now), painted bed cover is back on, on 20x12 Weld Cheyenne 8s now that I had powdered satin black, Goodyear Duratracs, modded/painted rear bumper with PIAA lights and custom built my own projector headlights......oh, and now it's lowered down to only 7" of lift.

Just FYI, no votes are taken, you were chosen as ROTW!

Looks like in the new pics you've removed the bars.

Yep, I removed the bars from the truck a few years back. Made the ride too rough.

If I were to put a set back on, I'd do the One Up Offroad bars like what I have on my 07.....they look similar, but work awesome with no binding.

I love the OUO lift block/traction bars on my truck.

Form and function in one. And the form really does look nice.
