thanks again for the help Ron!

 

That looks great. I couldn't help but see you live in VA. Where did you find that sun. It has rained here in Yorktown all day. If you do not mind me asking how much did you spend for everything? Also did you check with the dealership about the warranty?

 

the sun was killing us all day lol. the bottom fell out about 3pm and we got soaked finishing up the front lol. i paid $440 for the kit and $free.99 for the install thanks to Ron helping me out. as far as the warranty it will only affect something that can directly be tied to the drop.

 

Did you get any before/after measurements of the fender to ground height? Is it a true 2/4" drop?

 

I forgot to get before measurments but will take some after ones tomorrow morning.

 

Damn, that looks fantastic! I'd love to know how it rides. I've been thinking of dropping mine, but I'm a little worried it'd mess thing up. I owned a Chevy SS S-10 at one point and dropped it. After the lowering, it rode like absolute crap. Of course the Chevy's drop was a lot more than 2"/4".

Oh, and awesome job guys on the self install.

 

Only available for 2wd correct?

 

Thats looks awsome!

Any full side shots???

Question: I just received the same lowering kit you installed for $395 from Stylin but was wondering what way did you remove the coils in the rear???

*instructions they come with are worthless*

Did you put the frame on jack stands, then lift up one side with a jack to compress the spring (then install spring compressors) and finaly lowered the jack and remove them???

Im trying to find the easiest/fastest way to do this.

Hmmm...

 

looks really great!

cant wait to get mine done

too bad you guys are on the wrong coast lol

 

i agree the instructions are crap. for the rear we didnt use spring compressors. we did both sides of the rear at the same time. first we jacked up the rear end under the differential and then put jack stands under the frame. then we disconnected the sway bar end links and the track bar and lowered the axle until the springs were able to be taken out. we put the new ones in and then jacked the axle back up to hook everything back up. one tip is to mount the new track bar bracket before you jack the axle back up and then as you jack it up watch the hole and as it goes up the track bar hole will line up perfectly to put the bolt in. after we put in the bolt we jacked it up until we could put the end links on. the hardest part of the rear to me was cutting the bump stop cups off.

i am gonna post some more side shots in my next post.
