The tracking # for the lowering kit says its not going to be here till monday, so lowering it is going to have to wait till next weekend. Wheels and tires will be here saturday though. Told him he should wait to put them on until we lower it. I don't know what he's going to do yet. Either way I'll have pics of the rims on or off the truck saturday. Sucks, I was excited to get working on it

Good luck with the spindles. Mine wouldn't budge even with a BFH (big fkn hammer). I just dropped mine off at a custom air ride shop, they're gonna install the spindles for me. The cheap ball joint press we tried stripped itself out and the industrial one we had was too big to fit under the fender.... I was told to just hit the hell outta it with a BFH, but it wasn't workin on mine. I didn't wanna break anything. Just thought I'd give ya a heads up

I ain't scared, not my first rodeo. I'd say 75% of the stuff I've worked on in my life has'nt went to plan or was a *****. But I will NEVER take it somewhere. There's always a way, if there was'nt then the air ride place you took yours to could'nt do it either. I'll heat and beat the old ones til they come apart, no problems, thanks for the heads up though, can't f@!*ing wait to put it on

He just called me, said the rims are in. He said he can't wait and is putting them on when he gets off work. I prolly would'nt be able to wait to put them on either. I'll get pics when I get off of work

Here's a pic with the 20's just put on, and before shots of how high it's sitting before the 2/4 drop, which will be started at 1 pm Saturday.
