Sitting on the tire's dropped 4.5" front & 4" back!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I really can't remember the actual date but it seems like it's been quite some time since Lil' Red has sat on her own tires, wheels and suspension. She kicked the jack stands to the curb today and here she sits on her ECE/Ground Force 4.5" front drop and 4" ECE rear drop. Next is pulling the bed off and installing the Fuelcellguy tank and plumbing. Driveshaft needs shortening, inner fenders, finish interior, power one piece windows...and the list goes on.....but today is a special day seeing her sitting on her own!!!

Here is the exhaust tips and mufflers when I get that far! LOL! This pic also shows where the painter screwed up...ahhh he forgot to weld in my gas tank hole patch and do the body work. He says he can match it where no one will be able to tell. Just another hurdle for me, LOL!

Man that looks great! Maybe I should get rallye wheels for my truck instead of new white spokes?
