Any info of the dark blue one in the background??


Lol. Just need to move and get a flat driveway. Thank you for the compliment. The one in the background is a buddy of mine. That is his daily beater with a LS motor.

To be honest this is the same setup as before but with a different company. 2.5 spindles with 3" coil for CPP sat higer than the exact same setup 2.5 spindles and 3" coils with western chassis. Only thing I can think is that the spring rating is softer/less on western chassis. But I like it!

Had to pull stock fenders still working on the other ones. This was one rip up the road after lowering it more. It was riding on the fender but I had to drive it LMAO!!

So I got all my new lowering kit "anther one and last one". Went back to old reliable Western Chassis. Had a little issue with WC this time but they stepped up and hooked me up. I have now 2.5 spindles 3 coils flip kit extended shackle and hangers. Hangers complements of WC. Thanks WC! I almost gave up last night trying to get the original hangers off man o man. It's amazing what a man will do for 1 more inch. Lol. i got the ass end down to 8" with the option to go 9" now. WC flip kit 5" extended shackle 1-2" hangers 2". Truck is sitting perfect. 6.5/8!! I will get pics and post them up. Trying to recover from 6 hours of work on the rear end last night lol. But it was with it.

Well after watching football this weekend and having to replace the AC unit at the house I was bored. So I did a little polishing on the exhaust on my truck. This is about 5 min worth of work. I am thinking of polishing the entire exhaust system now. My original plan was to put tips on it but I this turned out pretty nice.
