This is with 3" blocks. The ride is terrible, there is barely any travel left between the axle and bumpstops.
Looks really cool, and the wheels tuck up in the wheel wells nicely, but not worth the ride IMO:tdown:

Wow you guys really didn't like the ride that much? Mine has the 3" in it and it seems to ride fine to me, but then again a vehicals ride has never really botherd me that much. I guess for me it's fashion before function or comfort.

Sy's and Ty's sit different 1 in lowering block on a TY will be higher then on a sy. from what ive noticed the sy's alway sit lower with the same stuff. (maybe something with the body bushings)
I had a pick with a 5 - 6 drop and it was hammered, put all the SAME parts in a blazer and the blazer sat almost 2inches higher.
ASHMAN... truck is SWEET!

It wasn't the fact of the ride. I didn't like getting on it hard or going thru a small dip in the road and having the suspension bottom out the on the bump stops, with the resulting feel of having no suspension at all.
Then I tried the 2" blocks with a sight inprovement (would still bottom out, but not as bad). 1" blocks were just right. It's the 3 Bears and Goldilocks thing

I'm not sure how the previous owner lowered my sy (it's from Mississippi) but it looks awesome, it bottoms out all the time and rides like crap and i can't fit any fingers between the tire and cladding....if this helps.

yea i have 3 inch blocks. it looks killer yes, rides bad yes. after reading here, im wondering. who has removed the bumpstops for the rear? help much? also, anyone thought about an "in the frame" notch? im not talking the "up through the bed" notchs that you see on airbagged/hydro'd slammed trucks, but just going up an inch or so and reinforcing the sides/top of frame to allow some more clearance.
thoughts? pics of something like this?

I noticed my 60' time go down .1 or so after the I lowered the truck, but I'm not sure if that was from me getting better at launching the truck or because of it being lowered.
I've had 2-3 other trucks 1 was S-series that had the bumpstops removed and the frame notched. It's great if all you want is the truck lower. It does seem to hurt the handeling of the truck because the bumpstops only allow for X amount of body roll and when you take them out and notch the frame the truck rolls too much.

for those of you that are lowering or lowered your syty, aftermarket bumpstops are a must, they allow more travel, not a lot but some, and less harsh stop when you do max it out. that goes for the front as well.
