Looking for some insight and some pictures!
I have a 2003 2500, 4x4. Long term goal is 800 hp, two turbos and take it to the drag strip now and again. Not looking for power combos right now though. Looking to get the stance of the truck right. I am a short guy (5'-5") and the tail gate sits quite high. It comes up to the bottom of my rib cage. So... I want to get it lower in both the front and the rear. I was thinking I could take out the blocks in the rear to achieve the height I want, but has anyone ever replace the springs for a better ride? Reduced the number of leaves or had springs re-arched for a lower stance?
What about the front end? I have read over and over again about cutting a coil out, but again how do we go about improving ride. Looking for something a little smoother.
Looking for wheel and tire combos too. I would like to put 20" wheels on it, but I'm not having much luck finding a variety of styles. It seems like 18" are the biggest, most common, most available. I am looking for something basic. Not looking for these big soup bowl wheels or flashy wheels.
Thoughts? Pictures and descriptions will help immensely!
