in the front you have 3" drop spindles and 3" drop springs?

Chlsnk · 02-20-2011, 12:20 AM

I forsure have three inch drop spindles, but my springs I don't know about. I bought them used the guy just told me they were lowering springs I didn't get any specs. I should be pulling them soon and I can measure the height for you while they are out if that helps?

Chlsnk · 02-20-2011, 12:31 AM

I got a grille today at U-Pick it my friend taylor saw me eyeing it and bought it for me for helping him out. I also got the left side clear turn signal lens and have a pair that got put on.

o0oabizaio0o · 02-20-2011, 12:59 AM

better taking a pic of the lower control arms or please measured the distance between the ground and the lower arm

Chlsnk · 02-20-2011, 11:37 AM

This is a picture of the cross member and how far it sat off the ground before the springs settled in the pockets.

1BadSS · 02-20-2011, 03:51 PM

Was that grille already pulled and sitting somewhere? If so, I pulled it then decided against it lol

Chlsnk · 02-20-2011, 09:58 PM

No, I was going to go this weekend. Instead I cruised down to the swap meet in Columbia instead and that ate up 5 hours of my day in driving.

Nothing was done with the radiator support mounts.

Yes progress is being made! I need to shoot the bed and passengerside door with primer wet sand then I will be ready for paint.
I also wasted a bunch of money on junk air ride componates. Not sure how I will wire up the MAC valves (that is if they work) The prior owner used barbed air hose fittings to plumb his lines for his air ride and thats just so ghetto not to mention dangerous. Some people......

Chlsnk · 07-04-2011, 12:57 PM

My friend Tyler (pictured) has been great help putting in the same amount of hours I am.

luifer76 · 07-04-2011, 01:53 PM

truck looks good man....

Chlsnk · 07-27-2011, 09:12 AM

Thank you thank you. Now if I could just find some one to spray the truck :/

1BadSS · 08-01-2011, 06:46 PM

Chlsnk · 08-24-2011, 03:32 PM
