Anyone have these springs installed WITH a LT/ORY setup? I'm worried about my stuff being too close to the ground, have to get rid of pro-kit.

Not trying to highjack the thread, i love the way the strano's look!

Well this setup has true duals so you should be good. His exhaust clears just fine....well it will when it gets welded back up

As long as the rears are on the spring cup on the axle housing you are ok. I went ahead and faced them towards the rear though to be safe. Not too hard of an install just a little time consuming. Oh and he has TTMs in chrome on there for the guy that asked.

Hope you are enjoying it James!

oh I am loving it just fine!!! yea the rims/tires are 17x9/17x10.5 - 275/315 TTM's. I have Pacesetter LT's and TSP TD's extended under axle. The lowest part is the back of the mufflers and I have to get used to driving it, I live in a dip populous area! I've scraped about 10 times now so it takes some getting used to!! Like I said earlier, they were lower than I expected but I love the stance, problem is my whole exhaust has about 2 1/2 -3 inches clearance so it's tight!!
