Thanks for the info! Do you have any pics at ride height? Also did you use a lower bag plate on top of the 2 link bar?

JWall · 05-27-2015, 01:06 PM

I will have to get some ride height pics. It's just slightly lower than it was with the static drop. I just bolted the bags thru the link bars the way Ekstensive does with their kit. I did not add a plate, I've never known anyone to have issues with their kit so I didn't mess with their design.

Thanks for the info Justin!

I sure love your truck, nice job.

bigblock73 · 06-15-2015, 12:44 PM

Love the truck Justin! You should consider shaving the bumper bolts....

Bumpers are on the list to do in the future (or when I do a full rebuild on the truck down the road).
The bumpers are the original bumpers & are straight but could use some new chrome & I'd probably shave them at that point & then suck the bumpers in a little too.

It got a new steering wheel over the weekend too..

Man it looks good! Do you ever regret not baggin it enough to lay frame?

Nope. I didn't want to cut the bed floor, inner fenders, or fenders on this truck since its a 1 owner all original sheet metal truck.

I'm pleased with the stance. Its not the lowest but I think the stance fits the style of the truck.

UKNOWME · 08-06-2015, 04:24 PM

That's what I'm leaning towards too. Had I don't it before I lined my bed I would've raised the floor or cut it. I understand your reasoning though. Isn't yours now a 2nd owner ✌?

I guess technically yes since the title changed from my Dad's to my name

Looks awesome! Did you paint or use vinyl?

Vinyl

I thought it was an easy to remove option to test the look with.

Oh my, sooo nice

JWall · 10-06-2015, 08:43 AM

I had the truck out wiping it down yesterday & the overcast was great for some pictures so I took a bunch of updated pics & thought I'd share....
