SNOW, but its lowered, finally, summer wheels and ground effects not on yet, soon. If doing the belltech kit at home i said earlier to have time and air tools, one more tool, air hammer, i bought one after one side was done and, well, i love that tool now...




here it is with just front lowered..

 

And here is how i did the emergency brake cable, nothing like the instructions..

 

i got these with the shocks but seemed to small so i went with the stock bushings, whats your oppinion?




lots more in the sig..

L in Detroit,

Looks good! I just did the same mod and you're dead-on-right about the air hammer. I would NEVER try it without one.

Good thinking on the brake lines.

From my experience, the first thing I would suggest, to someone that is going to tackle this job, is to throw the instructions in the trash. What a joke

Uhh, Dude, where are your ground effects?

 

they are off for the winter, i dont like the michigan salt and snow getting in between them and the body..

jim

 

Are these like 16 inch standard wheels from the Expies and F150 trucks? I've been wanting to by some alternate wheels too! Is the backspacing the same as the lightining wheels?

 

yep, went on no problem, there the ones from a 98 expy..
16" rim i put on 255/65/16 winter tires..


jim

 

No kidding... Do they come off easily? I never looked, but it'd make taking off that damn lane paint easier. (I drove over some freshly painted lines.)

 

all but under the doors are easy, there on with just bolts and a couple clips.

under the doors have some wierd clips, the first time i took them off i just broke them off and riged up some of my own mounting for them..

L in Detroit-

Nice job. Your truck looks great. . .but then again, I'm more than a little bit bias toward the White L's-


BTW- Like your tail lights. That's my next mod.


Later,

 

When I first saw this post it reminded me of what happened to my last truck after I lowered it.

I hate dear, but i have never seen a v-6 smoke f-1's like those front one's did.

Nice job on the install. I just dropped my truck 2" friday night. Now it is time for the warmer weather to come.

 

I also put Belltech 3/4 kit in Friday only to get caught in a blizzard on the way home from the shop. I never take er' out in the rain even. This weather is pure BULL$HAT! I like the ride with the drop.I had a chance to let er' rip last night! They also look so much sweeter. Nice trucks guys!
