Look what I got in today!!!!




This is my new Disc Brake Conversion Kit, Although they sent me the wrong spindles I am still stoked. They sent me 2.5 drop spindles. Instead of Stock height spindles.

I think it was meant to be. It was fate that you got drop spindles. Someone is trying to tell you something!!

Re: Look what I got in today!!!!

Well sorry to dissappoint all of you, but I am not going to drop the truck. I am a pretty big guy and I already don't have enough room under there as it is. Not, to mention I would have to buy a whole crap load of other parts to make the thing look right. And besides I like the look it has now. Not, saying that an azz dragging truck ain't sweet cause it is. It is just not practical for me right now.

I appreciate the offer, but I am not a fan of used suspension parts.
