more truck stuff from the wife

my wife ordered me a set of Western Chassis 2" lower control arms for our 5th anniversary. I hope to have my new suspension set up on the truck by next weekend. then it will be time for a photo shoot lol.

i have the wc lowers, djm uppers, drop shackles, and shock extenders to install on my truck next weekend (if the lowers get here in time lol). The truck already has a tvs on it.

just finished installing the wc 1"-2" drop shackles. with the shackles set on the 1" setting and the hotchkis leafs the truck sits at 16.75" on the drivers side and 17.25" for the passenger side. The shackles gave me right at a 1" drop over the hotchkis leafs and stock shackle combo. Going to install the shock extenders in the morning. The WC lowers c-arms and DJM upper c-arms should be going on next monday. The front of the truck should be around 16.25". Cant wait to get it all installed and take some picks. The rear of the truck looks alot better lower.

nice anniversary gift idea

She's a keeper, what a great idea for an anniversary present

I've been down to Bowling Green, KY several years now for the Buick Nationals, and the women there do seem genuinely nice.

can not get the spindle off the stock control arms!! knocked the crap out of it with a rubber mallet and it did not move. sucks because this is the only thing holding me back from being done.
