Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thanks, Guys.
To the center of the wheel well, now sits at 29 1/4" vs 27 3/4", B/F. The more I look at the pics, the more I think it needs to stay that way, too. I really appreciate the input.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
To: mag,
Do you already have drop coils on the rear? Because I've heard that you can buy lowered coils.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I'm running ECE -6's out back. They came with the frame, so they *could be* -5's. Can't verify, but the purchaser of the springs is very reliable. He thought -6.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced my lifetime warranty starter from AZ. It lasted four years. That's good for being in the desert, and running long tube headers. Love them lifetime warranties!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Mag the truck sits just right as it is, if you go lower in the back it will look nose high which will open up the front fenders to much, I stared at it for a while too, spend your cash on something else cool, hmmm..choices.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I agree with everyone so far the truck sits fine.I want mine to sit that way. If you would/could provide more details on suspension it would give me a basis as to what I can do for mine. I was already leaning towards 2" drop spindles with stock coils,and switch out my overload leaf springs for a dropped mono-leaf spring in rear. Comments are appreciated... it sits stock so far except for the overload leaf springs in rear.(PO used to tow fifth wheel)

The joys of living in rural Colorado. I do drive quite a bit slower on the gravel

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
After sitting in a field in Pierce, Nebraska since 1975 or so I got the drivers door opened today. Cleaned out under the seat. PB Blasted the lug-nuts, seat bracket bolts, shift linkage and radiator support bolts.
