I'm Happy!

Finally got the last piece(s) in the mail today! Thanks to Travis (blackedoutv6), and some people over on LRodder for helping me with deals and referrals for deals!

Hopefully will be 2.5-3"/4". Since I'm a V6, I might not drop as low in the front as a V8, but I'm thinking being a heavier Ext cab will cancel that out.

The springs are Belltech 3", hangers are Belltech 2", and the leafs won't do much, I just need some to replace my 142k stockers, and I got these for $40!

Lol. I won't be doing the install alone. I will be majority helping. Patman03sprcrw will be the head honcho on this install, so I can ask him.

The ratio of difficulty for a project is indirectly proportional to the amount of satisfaction gained in the end.

I've been running Lightning Bilsteins since lasted Easter, and they had 10k on them and have since put about 15k on them since.

but everything now on my susp, component wise, will all have less than 40k on them! (L leafs @ 20-30k, coils @ 3-4k, hanger 5k IIRC, and shackles have maybe around 30k)
