A cheap easy way is to cut two pieces of wood the length of the groove where the glass slides and place them on each side of the glass so the glass won't slide unless you remove the pieces of wood! Hope this is some help!!! DJY

Nastruck:
How'd you fit in the windows?j/k

Seriously, motion sensors, proximity sensors, etc.....

I'm thinking about replacing with a full rear window myself.

I forgot to mention. When I had my Alarm installed the installers, installed these magnetic things connected to the both sides of the sliding window frames, that will set off my alarm if my sliding window is forced open when the alarm is activated.

Tampa Bay Lightning, Nice truck! I have a question? I swear your truck does not look like it has the Bell Tech 4 inch drop in the back does it? I recently lowered my L. and my back sits way lower than your L.

Only reason I think I might change my window is with the new subs, it vibrates sometimes. hehe.

DJY:
Thanks.

I did the hangers this weekend. The pictures you've seen are with the 2" shackles only.
Sits much lower now, actually too low. The rear is 1" lower than the front. I'm moving the adjustable shackle hopefully tonight.

What are your measurements from the ground to the center of the fender.
I've got 30 1/2" front, 29 1/2" rear presently. Not the rake I wanted...

Thanks,

Rich

Tampa Bay Lightning, Check out the post (Black L. w/chrome rims Paging David Yee) that's my truck! With the Bell Tech 3/4 the back does look lower that's why I ordered the Western Chassis A-arms to drop the front 2 more inches. I bet your L. is bottoming out in the rear when you go over speed bumps or hit bumps in the road. You got to change the rear shocks they make a huge difference. E-mail me at <djy888@hawaii.rr.com>
If you want some more info and which shocks I got. David

Tampa Bay Lightning,
I got the same measuremnts you got. I plan to have 28 1/2 inches in the front and 29 1/2 in the rear. After I install the 2 inch Western Chassis A-arms. Actually the right now the truck is level, it is just that the front wheel opening is bigger than the back wheel opening. Wasn't it a bitch taking the rivets off on the hangers???
