very nice truck, the drop looks great on there. you had a laundry list of stuff you said you were going to do, what ended up giving you that stance?

on the wife subject I got pretty lucky, she says my truck isnt loud enough right now!

CPP supplied Western Chassis 2.5" spindles
1 coil removed from front springs
Western Chassis rear flip kit (8-leaf spring pack for full 6" drop)
SensaTrac shocks
15x6.5" van ralleys w/215-70-15's
15x8.0" truck ralleys w/255-70-15's


We had to grind the outer edge of the upper BJ pad on the spindles as they interfered w/the upper a-arm lip. I've never come across this issue on WC spindles so it was a first. Nothing a few passes w/a solid grinding wheel couldn't take care of quickly....

The rear has the OE bump-stops removed & the brackets trimmed as short as possible for now. Jon has the c-sections but we opted to install them @ a later date when he can have more time to detail the chassis while the bed is off.

We also trimmed the a-arm lips to allow future installation of some big diameter hoops (w/more back-spacing) should Jon decide to go that route. I vote Vintecs Jon.... they look just like the Halibrands .
