I think Daves just trying to hide the passenger side door panel from being loose

Good to see you have another truck to tinker with.

Sweet! Good to see you still in the game. What are the plans for the more near future for it?

Thanks LOHRTBT! for the info. I have a few more questions.

1. Is it C-notched?
2. Does it have leafs or coils in the back? Looks like it's got a leaf flip.
3. To get a 5 drop in the front, I gather that the spindles are 3' drop and the coils are 2'? (Without a spring cut)

Any details on the stance that you haven't already answered would be greatly appreciated. You can PM/email me if you prefer or share if you care.

Yeah..its got a c-notch with leaf flip. Honestly..maybe Izzy can chime in..He is the one that installed it all and knows all the specifics lol. I am still askin him questions too. I do know it has all new upper and lower tubular control arms. The stockers are gone. I can try and get some pics one day when I have the wheels off and do some paint touch up work.

I helped kenduhl do the flip kit he wrestled the front alone. Out back is a DJM flip using the stock ubolts and spring plates and a DJM shackle. The front is 3" DJM arms and 2" DJM springs. If you use the DJM arms it'll be a little tougher to align. They'll have to install longer studs for the alignment spacers but any good alignment shop can handle it.

Thanks fellas, now if you'll excuse me, I need to go marinate on that and check the piggy bank for leaks...

He bought the DJM parts at Harrys Hot Rod in Grand Prairie, thier prices are a little cheaper than Stylin Concepts and no shipping since it's local.
