Thumbs up Roush suspension installed

What a great mod. I am nothing short of thrilled with it. It took me 3.5 hours, taking one break and taking my time doing it...double/triple-checking everything. The informative post by SVT-KY helped.

the only thing I had an issue with was getting the rear leaf springs lined up so that they sit properly onto the axle. I did one at a time, but that didn't matter. The key was figuring out that I should start at the back (shackle) and work my way forward so that the front hanger bolt was the last thing I slipped into place. After that it went really quickly in the back.

I lowered my '99 with some springs and rear hangers, but this Roush stuff was well worth the $$. It's not cheap, but this thing rides like a stock truck, but yet it sits 2" lower and handles incredibly well.

So far with 600 miles on her I've got an REM intake, 2lb pulley, FTVB, stereo upgrade, and now the Roush suspension. The tuning is coming, and then I'll be done for awhile.

Told ya! I'm glad you like it. Now come out to one of the driving schools (www.thedriversedge.com) I go to and see what it will really do on the track.
