Coilover Install, lots of pics!!

Hey guys, well my and a buddy of mine installed a 2" procomp AAL bilstein 7100 shocks in the rear and come fabtech coilovers today. all in all a great day!

the AAL took about 3 hours to get it all finished, we had a hard time lining everything up, but it took me about 45 mins to install and crank the DL's. I pretty much knew exactly what to do so i dove right in.

i couldnt be happier, next week im going to fab up a cool new braket to relocate the 7100's extended resovoir but for now up against the shock will do! onto the pictures!

damnit, your truck looks awesome. I think about how mine could look that way everytime I see it.

so what is the final total for you after lift/coil upgrades?



btw, the sig is a little outdated now

IORf150, thats pretty much what i want to do it looks sick man.

thanks guys, i didnt drive it much today but it seems like they ride better, sunday ill hopefully hit some mud up and really test them out.

as of yet no rubbing at all compaired to how it used to be. Im alot happier.

thanks tylus.
lift was 1100
Coilovers were 800
rear shocks were 350 (both)
AAL was 120
So about $2400 thats about the same price as the Fabtech 6" with coilovers. Im happy with the trucks stance now, very happy. I think this is going to be it hieght wise, i dont really off road too much, just some mild trials here and there so i dont think i need the camburgs, even though they seem to be all the new rage with FX4life and PimpRohr haha.

I just got two subs and an amp in aswell for some new sound. so i have really been spending on the truck lately i need to chill down for a month or so haha.

Imact.. what do you wont pics of? i can snap some tommorow if you want
