I bought my k5 a while back and never liked how it sat kind of stink bug and would like to lower the back 2”-3” . I think it has the bigger springs and I think the hanger/shackles are ord idk, I also took out the overload spring already which lowered it some, any info would be much appreciated, thanks

Put everything you'd take on a road/offroad trip in the back add HD bumper/with tire carrier and fuel cans. Then adjust ride height as necessary. idk looking at the build pics I think the axle could be moved rearward maybe an inch.
Rear tires are probably over inflated too. Are those mil tires ? if so you can them @25 psi maybe less.
 
Based on the look, 4" would be my guess. You have to take actual measurements to be certain

Honestly, I like how it looks in the picture on the flat bed
 
Thanks guys, in that pic the tires are at 14psi and there is two spares in the back with a bunch of parts,and the gas tank “ bigger 6.2 tank” is full. I plan on having one spare and nothing really hanging off the back but a smaller prerunner style bumper. In that pic there is also a big ol heavy sum bitch bumper on it. Hmm maybe I can find a smaller rear hanger?

In the builds pics? wow!then D60 the front with an easy inch that way the rear will look even :whistle:
 
Castaic , by magic mountain, you? I would love to put a d60 in the front but I’ll wait till it grenades on me shouldn’t take long these wheels are heavy
