Lowered Trucks: tech and info....
see i wetsanded mine after my clear coat and it dulled the look and i didnt like it so i gave it 3more coats black color match and then 5 coats clear and when it set up like 4 days later i hit with a wax and buffed the crap outta it....so far so good minimal orange peel but your gonna get that with rattle cans.....
id start witha 400 grt or maybe a scotchbrite pad then a good coat of adhesion promoter and then primer then use 1000 grit to take down the peel then primer again do this untill smooth then use duplicolor match paint get ur code off your door mine like px9 then goto advance and check in the book to see which code of theres matches id give it 2 good coats then 1000 grit it again repeat till smooth and then paint till good maybe a cpl coats and clear a few times i dont know where all the diy instruction threads went theyare rearranging thing and well theyre not where they used to be....
just lowered my rear with 2" shackles...03 1500 reg cab short bed. now there is a slight vibration at 20mph because the pinion angle is off a little now. does anyone know what the correct degree is so that i know how much to shim it? or f anyone knows what size shim to get.
i lowered my qcsb with 2"drop shackles and removed the o/l leaf and i dont have a vibration are you sure thats the problem? because there are alot of people that have done this on here and other forums that have not experienced any issues.....
