Thanks Red! The only thing I will still need to get is shocks. But that can wait for a month or two. Thinking about bilsteins... what would you recommend? Remember this is a strictly street truck, not offroading allowed lol.

OlDirtyJohn · Oct 30, 2010

i think bilsteins would be a fine choice. i have some, and love em.

i might be interested in the shackles if dan doesnt take them. i have been thinking about dropping the back a little bit because its not completely level. only problem is i think this will take it a little lower than im looking for. i only have about an inch difference between the front and rear fenders.

Trupiano · Nov 10, 2010

Sorry southern, someone already scooped them up. I would definately recommend a leveling kit though... up or down.

southernbnb · Nov 10, 2010

thats kewl. i already have a 2" level in the front but it didnt quite level it. and its probably not really that noticeable but because i know my OCD takes over and i can see it everytime i walk up to my truck and it bugs me!! lol i will figure something out eventually. right now my focus is on go-fast stuff so the appearance will just have to wait! i just got to get through the next couple of months and i should start having some extra cash to put towards some of that!

Wow... I wonder what these could be???

Hmmmmm......

Trupiano · Nov 10, 2010

Did you buy another truck shadow?

shadow11 · Nov 10, 2010

This looks like an awesome project. Looking forward to seeing how it looks at the end.

Trupiano · Nov 10, 2010

Caltracs... CHECK!

Spindles arrived... CHECK!

Also got the polyeurothane bushings for the front sway bar.

And the AIr bags arrived like a week ago, so I have everything for them.

Just waiting on the two other sets of poly bushings for the front components, Hellwig Rear sway bar, and the rest of the drop parts... SHIBBY!

EDIT: I don't know why image shack is making this upside down. I took it right-side up.

Thanks Ramman! Moes, has totally impressed me so far. Just need a couple more things and I can start this bad boy. GO MOES GO!

Redtruck-VA · Nov 10, 2010

You are going to really like this setup, I think I am repeating myself. lol While you are waiting I recommend you shoot some primer on the spindles and get a good coat of paint on them.

You get your Throttle Body yet Ramman?

If I get all the parts for the back Ill start the rear, if I get all the front, then Ill start that. But right now, I don't have everything I need yet. So hopefully the rest will get delivered tomorrow or Friday, so Ill start it whenever I get those. ****! I cant wait! I plan on making a complete DIY for everything, so it might take awhile to get everything done, the alignment perfect, and the DIY complete. But Im looking forward to it anyways!

OklaHemi · Nov 10, 2010

Shibby indeed sir. this is so awesome i cant wait to see your truck dropped.

03MopaRamman · Nov 10, 2010

Really? Have you tried callin them and asking them what the wait times about? Hasn't it been like over 2 weeks?

Redtruck-VA · Nov 11, 2010

Trip,
To install the CalTrac you will have to remove the front rubber bushing from the leaf spring. Them ******* are really in there. I ended up burning most of it out and then pressing the rest out. Also, you got some extra pieces showing. "U" bolts and the plates?
