ECE 2/4 premium installed *crappy pics*
Finally got er done. Took me almost 8 hours (3+ of that was fighting those rivets off) working alone..
Not hard, just time consuming and a PITA in a dirt driveway. Managed to only draw blood once and not hurt myself too much either!

Re: ECE 2/4 premium installed *crappy pics*
Ya know. I look at those caps and I picture a 66 and know they belong on a 66 but on yours they are growing on me. It's different. Like TT2's are great and all but are so common anymore it makes painted wheels look that much better. IMO

Re: ECE 2/4 premium installed *crappy pics*
Those new springs may settle down a wee bit after a few hundred miles. It may be just me but it looks a little bit lower in the rear than the front. I bet it still rides good though.

Re: ECE 2/4 premium installed *crappy pics*
You're not done yet! Get your wrenches back out and turn those upper shock relocaters around. It shouldn't take but a few minutes to swap em around, you've already done the hard part. The part where the shock goes through should be towards the back of the truck. The way they are now you're shocks are a bit too horizontal to be very effective.

Re: ECE 2/4 premium installed *crappy pics*
Looks great! I'm getting ready to place my order on the 2/4 premium drop as well. In hind sight, would you approach the rivets differently? What did you find as the most effective way of getting them off?
