Had a good trip home made it back pretty quickly as traffic was rolling pretty fast. I'm worn out. Watching work does that to me. It's definitly different on the front but I think I will like it. I do hope it settles a little but I have my doubts.

Thanks Patrichk and Josh, I'm glad to have that done.

 

You do some drinking on the drive back?

 

Yep, Dr. Pepper.

After I got back, I needed to clean up the deck and patio area. The high winds made a mess with the oak tree mess. Plus Maggie was pretty upset at me. I had run off on a weekend day without her. So had to play with her awhile and take her for a walk.

 

yea its not the absolute safest way to do it for a newbie, but damn its fast

We did Pauls drop coils (same process as doing shocks basically) in 45 total for both sides

 

Jim, if it doesnt settle, it might be worth contacting Bistein about the situation and see what they recommend.

All though we probably should have measured wheel arch height before and after....

 

Yeah, I realized that it would have been good to measure it after we did the first one. Well, it is what it is. The rear was still slightly higher but I believe that with these shocks, it's pretty level. I guess I need to get n alignment. I just really hate for some nutso to start messing with it.

 

Monring fellow slackers!! I got my truck back Thursday and got some pictures of it on Saturday while it was sunny.

After

 

Looks like a new truck!

 

The dealer can do alignments. They're pretty good. Just put your stock rims on, don't want to possibly get the 20's scratched.

 

Thanks, I have quite a bit left to do now that the paint is done.

 

That's a lot of work just to do something I don't want to do! I had figured that I would check into letting the dealer do it.

 

Dave, that thing looks like a REAL truck. Where is the green grass? It's spring!

 

I am wondering where the green grass is my self its 27* right now. Its April for crying out loud and I had to plug my truck in last nignt.

 

Supposed to be in the upper 20s to 31 around here, tonight. It was 37 this morning.

 

Thats a little cold for Texas in April. Its supposed to be in the 50's by the end of the week with lows in the mid 30's which is where we are supposed to be for this time of year.
