Well shes done :d !!!

well i have been working on my truck all winter and finally did the final fitment and lower of the jack. im pretty proud of myself considering im 18, did it in my our garage with only 4 jack stands and a jack, and i literally did it all myself no help from mommy and daddy not to say i do have to thank my auto shop teacher and for letting me borrow some tools as well as my co-workers for their know how. It is 3" drop spindles and 3" drop springs upfront and a 5" flip kit in the rear. A lot of blood sweat and beers went into this truck and i thought id share it with you guys

the first pic is last spring and the rest are from tonight and the changes i have made

Leave comments or suggestions below thanks

Re: Well shes done :d !!!

I like the grille also I just got one for mine recently. The trucks not ready to have it put on yet, but mine will have one like that. I thought I was a stock ride height guy, the more I see the lowered the more I like it. At least a 2 inch drop in the back. Good job on the truck.
