Cant wait my self....I am waiting for a couple of pieces to arrive and then it is go time......Hopefully we will get the gauges done by Sunday..

Then on to the rear suspension...

big_al_71 · 09-27-2011, 07:42 PM

I just measured on a level surface the exact height of the truck from the floor to the out lip of the fender and bedside.

this post is basically for me to document before and after as I am hoping that I am happy with the stance because if not Bags will be next...

front 27 1/2 and rear 30

Finally received my covans bezel now time to wire these gauges up and get them installed....

**67cheby** · 09-29-2011, 09:33 PM

GET R DONE...so we can get back to this LOWERING THING !!

raull · 09-29-2011, 10:04 PM

We will get that truck on air before he realizes it. The truck is in my garage now so he may not have a choice after all.

We have gauges ready to go in.....

Rochlow · 09-29-2011, 10:05 PM

Lowering is a disease.. Porterbuilt is the cure.. (I said the same thing.. I'm just going to bag it and be happy, blah, blah, blah. With that being said, I'm about 2-3 weeks from pulling the trigger on a dropmember. Then, come the slosh tubs, and cutting into a rust free tub so the rear notches and axle come through.)
