Rear drop leafs on !!

Well It looks a whole lot better with the 4" rear drop leafs in, although, I think I am going to have to raise the front back
up, it's just to low.

Anyone want to trade some good front coils
for 1-1/2" drop coils ??

Damn Bill, I wished my coils were good enough to trade (But my passenger side is sagging quite a bit.) Wanna sell those maybe? Or maybe I can go to Pick&Pull and find some stockers and trade...that's if the deal falls through above. (Shipping wouldn't be bad, cuz you're only a state away.)

Wazzup with the Nevada plates?


Gotta be able to wear them.


Did you use the stock shackel and hanger? I'm curious. I have 4" drop leafs ready to add too. But if I keep the lowered shackel and hanger combo with the leafs that's 8" of rear drop!!!

I think those rear leafs are gonna settle in too. So the rear should get a bit lower. Throw some 2" shackles or hangers (wichever is easier) and be happy
