Now what to do? after drop...pics included

OK, if you saw my post in the wheels thread, I finally got my new wheels and tires put on.....Only problem was, it was to high in the front for me...

So I thought, I will cut my coils today.....

Did the whole unbolt the u-bolt thing....took ou the passenger side spring and look what I found....a broke spring....

Anyway, I cut the other side to match and voila!!!! HEre are before and after pics.......

Now I have shackles to lower the back, but I don't think they will fit......gotta get out the tape measure.....

Put on the shackles and an extra hanger on that muffler.

I have temporary mufflers on right now. I didn't want to piss off my neighbors.
They just come off the headers and hang. Next week or so I am getting it to a muffler shop to have new exhaust put on.

I know this has no pertinence to your post, but I just can't suppress the need to say this: Every time I see one of these trucks from the side, I fall in love with them all over again. This has got to be the sexiest body style... That body profile. Love your truck!!! Thanks for the eye candy pics!
