Lowered mine a little.

I guess everyone is out working on their trucks so I decided to jump in and finish mine off. Someone must have worked on the passenger side shackle before cause removing the bolts were easy. The driver side was not so much. Beat the stew out of them trying to remove them. I went down and bought new hardware. Trimming that channel under the bed would have been so much easier without the tire one. Oh well, live and learn. I'm happy with it just the way it is. I figure by the time mys son gets it he'll want to bag it but for now it is my toy and the next thing is wheels and tires. Probably going to stay with a 18 with some sidewall. It is going to be nice for the next three days so a "sick" day is in order. Going to run it up to the alignment shop and get it lined up. 2.5 up front with western chassis spindles. 2.0 in the rear with shackles.

Re: Lowered mine a little.

Looks Perfect, maybe cowl hood and 350 comin? huh? I have been lookin for pics of one at that drop. Personally I will never go over a 15 in rim, just looks right with 15's. Nice truck buddy!
