NORCAL SS Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 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.

NORCAL SS Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 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.
