I started back in 2010 with lowering coils. Hated the ride and the fact that it wasn't adjustable. In 2011 I switched to the Pedders Xa setup and love them. I am very happy and my wife is convinced it actually rides better than it did stock.

Looks good. What size wheels are on it and how much did you lower did you go?

Thanks....the wheels are 20's.
Honestly, I didn't measure before and after. About the best I could do if really wanted is give you measurements of how it sits now.
