Well I've been a little busy working 50hrs and finishing final things before our son arrives in less than 4 weeks.

Well, I scored me some drop coils and shackle/hangers in trade for my stock setup. I will be installing tonight. Pictures tomorrow!!

Well, I ran into a problem. My truck was in an accident some point in it's life, and y frame is slighy tweaked. My passenger side front hanger is welded in place. I can grind it off, but it's welded because the holes don't line up properly. I have to wait til I can get someone with a welder help me so theycan weld new bracket in place.

With the rear brackets in my truck clearly is lowered 2" in the rear. I'm putting in the front drop coils today. I'm hoping my truck still has the "raked" look I'm going for.


Another thing that worries me is my ground clearance on my markIII ground effects. I'm going to be inches from the ground. I'm not afraid of that at all, my z has a 3.5" front bumper clearance I'm very used to driving low vehicles
