Re: Dropping the bad habit....... with pics.
can you get chassis pics of the rear? what's giving you 3.5 inches of travel in the rear?

Re: Dropping the bad habit....... with pics.
I have always loved your truck, still love it. How much did it cost to get your bench covered in that awesome 70's fabric?

Re: Dropping the bad habit....... with pics.
Looks great!
It appears you have a very similar rim/tire combo compared to my truck. I've seen posts lately about 15" rims rubbing on the A arm when using 2.5" drop spindles. How's the clearance around the inside of the rim? Thanks

Re: Dropping the bad habit....... with pics.
Looks great. I just finished using a pic of your truck to photoshop what mine might look like when I'm done. Now I've gotta redo it with the drop.

Re: Dropping the bad habit....... with pics.
tires are 235/70/15's Uniroyal Tiger Paws on 15 x 7's steelies. the tires were the best bang for the money.
as far as removing the bump stop tower, I simply took a sawzall to it and they came off quick. it's amazing how much destruction you can do with a new blade and a sawzall...... I am getting Energy Suspension low profile urethane bump stops and installing them on the front, just in case we hit a speed bump at 60mph.

Re: Dropping the bad habit....... with pics.
Looks Great! That's the same drop I have planned for my highlander. I'm assuming your not running headers? That's whats holding me back at this time.
