"how do i validate my small *****"

Oh wait.. maybe those last two i made up lol.


BUT right on 1fast4.6!
Im looking forward to seeing the rest of your build.
I was actually under mine earlier this morning doing a lot of measuring lol
Ditto...

I subscribed to this thread as soon as I saw it, but now I've posted on it so I'll be getting two notifications per reply LOL

Actually, I'm thinking about the Eibach setup that Screw-Me-05 has, but I think I'll need to get that tan two-tone strip painted white first or it will look weird. (Of course, this is after I get some new wheels-n-tires)

alot of measuring plus some. its unreal how much time it takes to do an air suspension if you dont buy off the shelf stuff. But you have that feeling of "i did it all myself". not saying bolton is wrong. it has its place aswell.

You know me, all YEE HAW, all the time.

Actually it's kind of difficult to clean the wheelwells when she's lowered, even when the 22's are in the garage.

I know what you mean, we bagged a 90s shortbox single cab chevy and it was a lot of measuring, even with those older trucks where not much is in the way.
My buddy just finished up his colorado with a reverse linkage all custom made, he just has to cut the bed out of it and drop it on.
And we currently have a 95+ style s10 in progress and we are cleaning up and doing a new paint job on a former mini-truckin feature truck.
We also had another magazine feature truck leave the shop last week.

I get all excited when i think about bagging mine, then i pop the hood and see all the chit which will have to be moved or relocated and i get sad again

Sounds like you are going for a body drop.

yea that would be the idea. if its going in for the bag job i planned on having the body dropped enough to fill in that large frame laying under there. Its already going to be in the shop so we would probably just do it all at once. The more i think about it though the more i just want to do what you have. I dont really want to cut into the bed since i do have to use it as a truck most of the time and it will still be a daily afterward.
How much clearance do you have upfront still? I would like to run a bigger wheel and tire combo for shows but keep my 22s for daily driving

Hey i meant to ask you, you got a pic of the side where your exhaust exits? im looking for ideas on how to do mine.
