Now that the weather has finally cleared up, I have taken some good after lowering photos of the L. I like it a lot better, but think I may have to go with a front and rear lowering kit when I can save up the money. I don't want to slam it, but would really like to close the gap in the wheel wells.

What do ya'll think?

Before


After

 

Here's a couple more after.

 

Looks ALOT better! just shackels?

 

much better.... rear shackles was the first thing i did to my L

 

looks great! that was my first mod too!

 

I still think you should have bought the 2WD Lightning.

j/k Looks good

 

Looks good man. Hey can you take a pic from the direct side, and fill up the screen as much as possible? I'm thinking about getting a set of those for my silver L. I'd really appreciate it.

 

I have a set of 01 rear springs..not to mention front ones as well...

The rear set would help you achieve your goal of a lowered back end....not that your's isn't lower.....just not low enough...


I am looking for a used ..Metco Tensioner set up for my 01..and would gladly trade.....

 

That's about how mine looked stock. I fully understand people thinking these things sit way too high in the rear (03-04 models)

damn i have to get those wheels.....Are they a pain in the a** to keep clean? I hear polished wheels get hard stains in them?

 

Very nice. That is the look I'd like to have on my '03. Can you let me know what you used to achieve that look?

 

I used the JLP lowering shackles. They cost $109.00 and took less than 1/2 hour to install. You will need to flip the factory shims on the leaf springs around to get the pinion angle in line. Mine had a terrible vibration until I flipped the shims. Had a tire shop do the shims for $45.00. I'm very happy with the results.
