I guess if I can't drive it you all can't see it. If all goes well pics will be forth coming after the Mid Ohio Meet. Thats assuming I get to pick up the truck Friday afternoon. This is starting to playout like a soap opera.

All should be good for the meet. I will need to order a set of new front springs and the other items and get them to Curt by Wed. and he will get everything installed by Friday early afternoon. We will pick up the Circuit Rider Fri. and get up to Springfield Fri. late afternoon. As we have said: "Close, very close."

The only decision is which type springs? I have the 2 1/2: Spindle Drop so I will need to go with 1" or 2" drop springs or even stay with factory height springs. As stated the tire is only about an inch from the fender so when I hit a bump it rubs the inside fender area.

Way back when... I purchased from ECE a 2"/4" frop kit which included springs and a set of 2 1/2" drop spindles. The front springs have 7 turns and it looks like I need to raise the front by about 2". I am running 16x8 tires on all corners.

So maybe what I need are stock front springs. Your thoughts?
