Took it down a notch

Well I guess my A.D.D. kicked in, got bored with it where it was. I've been wanting to lower is so I decided to take baby steps lol. I pulled my TEI spacer out and then replaced the 3.5" blocks on the rear with factory 2" blocks. I'm exactly 40.5" on all four corners with the 275/65/20's. My rear sits a little lower than most because I have a very heavy toolbox back there. Here's a couple of pics I snapped before it got dark:

To each their own I suppose. It is rare to see lowered SD's.

Technically it's a stock right F250 right now. Stock coils in the front and F250 blocks in the rear. But my toolbox is HEAVY, so that brought it down some.

Yep, like I said it's basically just a stock F250. But it's a long way away from 8" and 37's where it used to be . Lol

Now that you are back to stock suspension, how does it compare to the Icon lift suspension?

A Stock F250 sits 2" higher in the rear. Because of the weight of my toolbox (and maybe the 08 spring conversion too), My truck sits exactly level all the way around, which is 2" lower in the rear than a stock truck.

I loved my ICON lifts, all of them. They rode and handled great, especially with the 4-link. I was actually planning on selling the truck, is the main reason I took everything off. Now that its back down to a normal height, the truck is much more practical for daily driving. But I did love my 8" with 37's!!!!

LOL, I wasn't offended at all. I do have two girls by the way, that's why I never have any money, I think they can smell it when I have it on me lol. Its funny, cause I don't know who is copying who, but with 06silvercrew and I, are trucks seems to follow the same path lol
