Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Thanks for the info! Do you have any pics at ride height? Also did you use a lower bag plate on top of the 2 link bar?

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
I will have to get some ride height pics. It's just slightly lower than it was with the static drop. I just bolted the bags thru the link bars the way Ekstensive does with their kit. I did not add a plate, I've never known anyone to have issues with their kit so I didn't mess with their design.

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Love the truck Justin! You should consider shaving the bumper bolts....

The bumpers are the original bumpers & are straight but could use some new chrome & I'd probably shave them at that point & then suck the bumpers in a little too. |

I know they both get trash talked on a lot but I've had good results with Ekstensives 2 links in the rear. I went with the 2 link because I like the simplicity of the looks & the design & also worked well with my K5 Blazer gas tank & keeping my bed floor uncut. A lot of people go with the AOL set ups because its fairly easy install & also generally cheaper than buying a 2 link set up. |

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
That's what I'm leaning towards too. Had I don't it before I lined my bed I would've raised the floor or cut it. I understand your reasoning though. Isn't yours now a 2nd owner ✌?

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Here is something I did over the weekend that i'd been talking about testing out the idea for a while... Making the door handle insert black to match the trim....
