Default Project: Down to Earth - Before and After PICS

Due to reasons out of my control, I have to fit my truck into a garage. SO, the lift had to come off, might as well get it as low as possible at the same time...
BEFORE: Fabtech 6" lift on 35's



AFTER: McGaughys 2/4 drop 305/45's on 22" DeModa Concept F1's

Thanks for the condolences, but I am starting to like it. Like driving a new car!
And yes....stupid HOA! No pickup trucks allowed, so it's got to go into the garage. At least it will stay clean longer now! and I've already sold the NFab steps and will be selling these shortly.

Looked great before, even though I ain't into lowered trucks, it don't look bad now either. But I think b4 I'd changed my truck, I woulda had me a few "private conversations" with them Home Owners Association folks.

That's why I like living in the sticks in south Georgia. I don't even need a permit to build me a shed or barn on my own property as long as nobody intends to live in it.

I had some extra wood a couple of years ago left over from a deck I built on my home. Got me ahold of some plans off the internet for bluebird houses. Had dimensions and hole size so supposedly the only bird that would nest in them would be bluebirds. Put some up around my place and sent some off to friends and family. My godmother in this here "gated community" in Florida called to thank me and said she'd send some pics when she could put it up AFTER submitting a photo of it for "approval" and paying $10 for a permit for it. FOR A FRIGGIN' BIRD HOUSE!
I was like "WTF"? We ain't even talking putting it up on shared property from an apartment or condo or something. This woman had a small house with HER OWN YARD! I'da put my birdhouse up and if somebody woulda come around to give me sh*t about it, I'da taken it down and busted it over their fool head!!!

That sucks that you had to lower is, but it does look really nice at the new height!
