Re: Before & after 3/5 Drop
Post #11 he said what he did...
"On the front I cut 1 full coil off. Actually I probably cut about 3/4" more than 1 full coil." |

Re: Before & after 3/5 Drop
Well my lowering kit just got a lot more expensive. Got something in my eye thursday when I was underneath grinding the upper shock mounts off. (yes I was wearing safety glasses) Toughed it out for a few days thinking I had just scratched my eyeball. Got to looking in the mirror real good last night because it hurt so bad I couldn't sleep and saw something in my eyeball just below the pupil. went to the ER and they said it was metal that had rusted and I guess since I had waited 4 days it rusted pretty deep into my eye. They used a little dremel and drilled a hole in my eye to get the metal and rust out. Not to comfortable right now.
Oh and the ER doctor told me I need to go to the eye doctor just to make sure everything is ok so I have an appt for 1:30 this afternoon. Last edited by davebloomer; 04-12-2010 at 12:48 PM. |

Re: Before & after 3/5 Drop
Hey sorry about the eye that sucks. Happened to me once at the beach with sand...(basically glass). Eye got so bloodshot it looked like I was stoned for 2 weeks straight.
As for the Beauty Rings. You can get them through most of the resto companies. Check Brothers, LMC, Classic Parts, Truck Shop, etc. Most of these have websites. That is if you want to buy new. I bought mine at the Portland Swap Meet last year. I went with 3" deeps, but wish now I had gone with 2" to show off more of the wheel. I looked for used ones, but they were more thrashed than I wanted. Otherwise, try Craigslist. Nice stance. I just received my 3/5 drop springs from CPP. Replacing heated and compressed springs with quality ones. Installing soon. Did you do a C-Notch on the frame?

Got a set of 4 (including shipping) for $160.00 !!! I believe the Owners name is Barbara. When one of the Center Caps went flying off (because a "Tang" broke off) she sent me a replacement at no cost, and that was 2 months AFTER I bought them. They werre helpful in the Measurements and took great care to answer all my questions! Putting Rings/Center Caps on your Truck is the one improvment that will give you INSTANT Gratification!
