Did have the RE6200 5.5" XD kit, but I took out my RE ZJ 4.5" coils and the RE 1.25" shackle and replaced the coils with RE ZJ 3.5" coils and stock shackle. Overall drop was 1.25". Sitting about 4.5" with 34" Trxus. Sorry for the poser shots, I'll get you guys some flex pictures later.

Curious as to why you did that? To top heavy?

Yep, wanted a lower center of gravity, and the ride quality is much better.


Old springs and shackles were posted last week and are long gone. Sorry.
