Finally lowered!
 
Finally got a day off and a trip to a friends shop to lower my truck.

front is 2.5" mc gaughys spindles
rear is 2 leaf springs taken out. Might take a coil off in the front havent decided yet. Rides a lot better then it used to. Used to ride really harsh.

That's a heck of an improvement for a day's worth of work.

Also forgot I put on a sport bumper (from an 86 burb) with matching filler. Will get pictures later. It was much easier using a lift and air tools. Would have taken me a couple days by myself in the drive way probably.

The truck looks better from what we can see. It does look a bit high in the front though. You might consider half a coil first and see what it looks like.

I agree. I think a half coil will be going tomorrow. The GF is going to kill me for spending to much time with my truck lol
