Did a little lowering today, of the seat. Took 2" out of the mounts and it sits sooooo much better now. It's like I'm actually sitting 'in' the truck, instead of 'on' it.
Ahhh..... 88-98 bench. I feel they allow more legroom as well vs 67-72's.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Yes, much thinner back and none of the bounciness of the stocker. One of the better cheap/easy mods I've done to this truck

Totally agree on the 2'' drop.
Did you angle it any more than the stock specs or just straight down two inçhes?
