Re: Fun times ahead
Adding all those parts will make a big difference for the handling. I will help...by taking your other shocks of your hand.

Re: Fun times ahead
Sweet. You'll like all the new parts. That will make a big difference in the driving. Can't wait to see how the new springs look too.

currently its got 3" djm spindles and 1.5" western chassis coils and only a flip kit in the rear. IMO, my rear looks lower than the 5" advertised by the flip kit, so i'm gonna wait and see how it looks with the new springs before i decide on getting lowering shackles |
