Default Last project is finished.

It took a while, I had to wait till I had a whole day off...but I finally got it done. I got my McGaughy's 2" drop shackles in last Thursday and finally got to put them on today! I imagine it will hopefully settle a little bit after a bit of driving, also I was not able to remove my overload springs...I could NOT get the center bolt on either side to budge at all. Maybe I was doing it wrong? Anyway, on to the pics...which aren't the best because my driveway is lop sided and filled with dips in the gravel...









Again, not the best pictures...but I will have some nicer ones eventually.

those will definately settle back a bit, go drive around find some speed bumps and go over them, not hard just normal, or lock a trailer on and itll settle...

Hey! I have a couple of questions for you. First off, where did you get your bumper cover? I never thought to ask before, but I want to see if there is one like that for mine. Also, is the Lower Class Club still open? I'd like to also eventually go with a 2/5 drop, I'm just not wanting to spend so much right now...what is your advice on a kit like that?

Yea I love a level ride! I second that lowering kit, I got mine for under $300. Also when searching the Internet it'll show 2/4.5 and will come with everything to get you to 6in in the rear but I haul my rides so I used the shackle to get it back up to 4.5in drop.

Thumperk15, I really love the stance of your truck. Your truck looks really great! That is where I want mine eventually, it will take a while though. For now though, I now have the PROPER tools to remove my O/L springs...and will be doing that tomorrow.
