So here's my latest update, it's been finished for a few weeks, however there's still a couple parts I need to button it all up and be 100% complete.
The biggest PITA was I broke both lower bolts for the springs, 1 upper and rounded the other upper. I still haven't dealt with getting the bolts out of the trailing arms. Good thing is I was able to locate some arms on CL and they are already powdercoated black. Once I get new springs and lowering block, then the rear will be finished.
I took the truck of the jackstands to see how much room the CPP notch allowed, and I was stoked to see 15" wheel tucking. It just inspires me to get this thing bagged and throw a bigger wheel under it.
I know there's a long road left to this thing, but the little things give me motivation. Plus, I had never installed a notch before this...it's been fun to get familiar with these trucks and learn some basic skills.
