Phase 1 of my drop done
 
After working out the little fitment issue with my spindles I finally got both sides done. I'm very happy with the drop on the front. Now I've got to get the rear shackles done. I also installed the bumper guards that I got from a gracious member here. I think they really set off these square body trucks. Thinking of adding a hood ornament as well but on the fence about that. Sorry for the bad pics. Obviously it got dark on me. The first spindle took me 2 hours to get done. I had the passenger side done is 45 minutes with limited skinned knuckles. The worst I got was a puncture wound on my wrist from the darn bolts/screw that holds the lower air dam on when the ratchet slipped off the bumper bolt when I was installing the bumper guards.

Do you have a paint code for that blue? I am doing blue/white two tone and that blue might work..............

Thanks everyone. I used the western chassis 2.5 in drop spindles. I'm very pleased. The color is the reason I bought it. The person did not know the paint code other than a Honda/Acura cobalt blue. B54P maybe? I need to get it though as I need to do some touch ups. Thanks again and I will post up when the rear is dropped.
