brought mine down another 1" up front

running a 5/7 drop flip kit from beltech but it was more like a 5/8 drop because i removed one plate from the leafs in the back……wasnt sitting quite right so i ordered a 2" drop spring from mcgaughy to bring the front down a bit more…..sitting nice now…..just cant crank the wheel when im backin up.





body shop coming down the pipe soon to replace cab corners, rockers, and weld up all the remaining body work……then some fresh paint, all new trim and chrome, and new interior.

love this truck.

Lower is almost always more gooder.

Re: brought mine down another 1" up front

That's a really nice ride, I LOVE that color. Is that spring green? If you don't mind, I'd love to have the paint code for whatever color that is. Mine may be the same color here soon

I really love the pinstripes on your truck. I think we need some better pics that show the whole thing!

Sweet truck. Do you have pictures of the whole truck? Usually not a big green fan, but that looks good! Especially with that wheel color.
