First sunny day since lowering, Sonic '03 Drop pics

Hi guys, I got a chance to shoot a few pics of the truck today, it isn't really clean because it's been snowing around here so there is some road salt and sand, but here goes. Hotchkis 1/2 drop pictures:

Those pics look absolutely fantastic considering that the roads are crappy as can be around here right now. You must be up at Performance Autosport. Did you clean the truck while you were up there?

The drop looks awesome!! I hope you are enjoying the new boost you have today. Makes for a good birthday present I am sure. Of course you aren't going to hook very well on the street until these chemicals wash away, but it should be a blast when they do.

That looks good superfords. It's final, I'm going with the 2" drop shackles. I was worried about 2" not being enough. Now that I have seen yours, I think it is plenty.

Actually, you might want to think about that a little more. This is the Hotchkis 1/2 drop for the 99-02 Lightning! it is slightly more than 2 inch drop on the rear of our 03 trucks. it is entire new leaf springs, not just shackles, so the amount of drop has no relation to the stock '03 spring ride height. meaning this probably not the same look that 2" drop shackles would give. however, 2" drop shackles might look just perfect with an undropped '03 front suspension? understand what I'm trying to say? I guess that was kindof confusing. I didn't even think about that when I posted.
