Truck looks great like always. I would love to go another inch closer to the ground all teh way around but I think I would have issues with the front inner fenders rubbing on bumps.

get off the computer and finish up the stepside my truck and I are super anxious..... Quote:
Raul and I were looking at his truck and we are going to dial the suspension to get my truck within a 1/4 of an inch from the factory inner fenders by using bumps so when it is parked I can have it as low as possible without any cutting. Here is a picture of Raul's stepside we were measuring last night and we are pretty sure that since we are doing the same exact set up on mine my front tires should tuck at least close to his even though his still has an additional three inches that he is going to be able to go lower. the other picts is with the wheel off to show what we are installing also on my bucket.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I think it looks pretty sick Al, I wouldn't do anything until after you install the bags, see how it looks and then make a decision on going to a 295/40/20. You might aslo want to go to a smaller front tire to keep the same sidewall front/back that you have now. If you go to a 29" tall rear tire and have a 28" tall front tire, your front tire on the 18" rims will have a bigger sidewall on the front. On mine I went with 245/45/18 and 295/40/20 so that the sidewalls would look close to being the same. Just a thought.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Those new "Matte Finsih" grey Coys are my favorite wheels from Coys.
I'd like to see a set in person.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Well it was decided last night that we would tackle the rest of the build in my house's garage. We started right around 7:15pm tonight and by 9:30pm the garage was cleaned all the tools put away and ready to begin installing all the new goodies either tomorrow or wednesday. I know you all like picts so here are a few to show the progress. Everything is off the truck as far as the control arms uppers and lowers, all springs, shocks, spindles, hubs etc.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I am not too keen on those car stands I prefer my lifts at my shop all day long and Raul crawls under that truck everywhere without a concern.
That makes two of us!!!!! yeah right...
