Here are some pics of the body drop. Only did a 1" drop to fill up the wells just a bit more.

Looks good, hey JK are your front windows tint legal, because I live in Texas like you and yours look like its darker than the 25% limit.

Yea...just a little darker than legal. I put 5% on the two fronts and double 5% on all the rears. Haven't had any problems with the local laws. I tinted my CTS with 5% all the way around and have yet to be pulled over in that car as well. DPS will get'cha though. And even though we have DPS stations here in Austin, we hardly ever cross paths.
My 'hoe and CTS are both black. And with a black interior (CTS), it gets HOT and the tint helps a lot. Plus it keeps most would be thieves from being able to see what I have inside. Those are the two reasons why I always tint my windows dark.

The ride looks nice JK, I love black windows. I want to do it to mine, but I already got a ticket for that in my last vehicle. Damn VT police, nothing better to do.

How much of a drop do you think it would take to fill up the wheel wells with 22" wheels? Boosts' Denali looks nice and compact with the 3/5? drop and 20's, so somewhere in between?

I think 3/5 would look really nice IMO. I like the way Boost's sits with the 20s...just right. If you like more wheel well space than what Boost and I have, then try a 2/3 or 2/4 kit first.
And thx for the compliments.

Looks much better! You just use smaller body mounts or what?

Thnx bro. Found some from a local guy off craigslist. $50 for the set of 8 and new bumper mounts. I've been planning on doing it but been procrastinating. Then I saw this guy's ad while browsing Craigslists and swooped 'em up and did it this weekend. Now I gotta quit playing around and drop off my rollpan and ss bumper to get painted, but I got so much other stuff going on that's keeping me busy and tight on money right now (like getting the CTS ready for a local car show coming up).

Got you, I agree with the Heat and Black leather problem which contributed to me getting limo tint.
I have about 2% all around apart from my front windows/winshield and a 15% strip above the AS1, an officer once tried to give me BS and tell me anything darker than 5% isn't legal but I did get a $200 Smoked Tails tint which was extreme BS.
Double 5% tint??? How do you see out of that at night, I have 5% ontop of my factory smoke windows and its very dark at night, if not for my backup sensors I would hit something going in reverse by now.

Yea, I have a Pioneer BU cam I use. Has a nice wide angle and great picture at night.

That looks smooth man! Nice work! I'm pretty new to the forum, but I rolled by you in my '89 on 35 about a week and a half ago near Braker. Sweet ride!

The rear plastic inner fender liners rub slightly now over bumps and the front pretty much stayed the same. I bought them from an individual and I didn't even think about asking the guy where he got them from.
the truck really looks great JK. have you ever thought of airbags?
I thought about bags a while back but decided against it cause I just wanted to keep everything simple, at least for the meantime.

Thanx for the compliments guys.

How long did it take? I've got poly body mounts available to me in any size and it would be worth the work to set it down lower.
