Re: Project "Candy Apple"

Question on the shock extensions, the pictures that I've seen of those make them look low enough to catch speed bumps. Is that a danger? Or are they at a comparable elevation to other components?

I can get you an exact measurement if needed, but the front is lower than the rear shock brackets.

Finally making a little progress, the new LMC fan shroud arrived and is a good fit. I still have to rework the air intake system and a little bit of trimming on the engine covers.

Beautiful truck!

What is the part # for shroud you used? My LS swap needs a shroud.

Thanks, no measurement necessary. I'd like to use stock length shocks but didn't want to smash them all the time. I assume it's the crossmember in front that is lower?

BTW, I'm enjoying following your progress.
