I would if I didn't have to reduce every single picture manually vs this site doing it automatically. I've got plenty of pics

Tried again to upload 10 pics, all failed. If someone wants pics, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll send you everything I have currently in my phone...in exchange you've gotta reduce and post them here for others :-)

As for my setup, I'm running staggered iForged 20's, perfect offset as they're dead flush with the fender and I went as low as possible. The ONLY time I've rubbed in the front is during the fast and heavy switchbacks while driving through the Napa Valley on the way to Bimmerfest with my GF (110lbs) and myself (250lbs) in the truck. All it did was rub the plastic fender liner on the inside, no damage whatsoever. I've bottomed out once in the rear with three kids in the back (didn't have the SLS hooked up) while on another spirited drive to Eastern Washington on a rise in the road that was damn near a speed bump. Other than that those two at the limit times, it's been great.

I did this conversion on my truck today and the only thing I regret is NOT DOING IT WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ISSUE WITH MY OEM AIRBAGS.
Amazingly enough "m5james" responded to my email ASAP When I ran into a simple problem. This was a super easy project to do but you do need professional tools and be handy. Took me about 3 hours. The issue I had was one thing after another with this cheap oem airbag design from bmw.

At first I tough the kit was wrong because it had no rear springs where the air bags go I though it was wrong and that is when I contact
m5james and he helped me out.
The rear air bags you can either just leave them there and deflate them I just removed them. The new coil over shock will do all the work from now on.

Truck looks clean and rides even smoother then before. I recommend everyone this kit 100% for a cheap good solution.

Here are pics of turn out. I will be lowering a bit more next weekend. Right now it looks nice and clean and I wanted the springs and weight to settle in and then I will readjust them.

Thanks

No. I was in south lake tahoe and I had lifted it acouple inches for clearance an some local trails. Iv been offroading acouple times in it. Nothing heavy but even lowered I had alright clearance.
You can go abit lower. Nd also spacers more aggressive wheels and either custom spring rate or you can get helper springs to get alittle lower.
