NSince im a magnaflow dealer i decided to order the 3.5 inch cat back for the truck.

TBSSowners.com Store - 2015 UP Magnaflow 6.2 Kit (Powered by CubeCart)

I will be cutting off the 3rd waste of space cat and doing the full 3.5 inch from the y pipe back. I have to see if I can make the y pipe a 3 inch fill unit also since bottom is flattened

came home and parts started to show up. Have the suspension almost all here. Will be dropping it off tomorrow at the powder coaters. Going to do it all in semi gloss black. Im trying to make the swaybars/springs/mounts etc all look factory.

if you need afe intakes just holler can save you over summit or jegs. I will be doing a before/after dyno of the intake also

Got some of the items back from powdercoaters for suspension

[NORCAL SS]

ok so the outside of the eskys are all led.... except the horrible lights above the license plate

i ended up doing 2 of these

5K WHITE 6 LED HIGH POWER 360° 180LM 194 | 1 EACH - 360 - 194 - 168 - 158 LED - Shop Bulb #

Looks much better

will be getting the brackets powercoated to match the bars.

got rid of the wood grain today had it all wrapped

[NORCAL SS]

so worked late today but got few things done.

Truck was at 35.5 front rear comes in at 38 1/4 ground to fenderlip

Did the free tavel mod on pass side bracket cut off which gives 3 more inches of travel finish up drivers side tomm

insulators on these things are big. I just wrap heater hose on top and bottom coils on them but the oem ones give the truck a 13/16 lift

Belltech 5305 coil left vs oem spring right. Yes i had the belltech springs coated to match oem. OCD strikes again

[NORCAL SS]

Finished cutting the drivers bracket put the belltechs in along with the djm links. Rig rides nice and came down 4.25 inches..... but its not low enough for me Ill post up pics with the rear dropped tomorrow. Im planning to do the swaybars and front drop this weekend. I have a feeling ill be putting in my custom spring in rear and getting rid of the autoride to slam it.

26" tires came in today also.
