Phase 1
Alright folks, I dropped my GMC off at the custom shop today to complete phase 1 of the mods. I am so stoked, I've been working 7 days a week 12 hr shifts down near Austin on a shutdown for 107 days now (1 week and were done). I've been buying parts as I go (all ECE) and decided this would be the first thing accomplished on my truck.
1. 2.5" drop spindles 2. 1" drop springs 3. 1-1/4" sway bar 4. 4" drop rear springs 5. 1' drop shackles 6. Replace anything worn i.e., brakes, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. 7. Repack wheel bearings 8. Replace shocks I will end up with a 3.5/5 drop and all new springs. YEAH!!! The owner of the shop is a great guy and awesome customizer, he had a write-up in Sport Truck Magazine on a Dodge he bagged and painted. I told him he has a week to complete it and believe me it will be a nice homecoming. Is there anything else ya'll can think of that would need to be looked at suspension wise while he has it? Sorry no pics until it is done, I'm just excited.
