thx. we are a little disapointed on the seat. the inserts shouldve been made wider and the grey almost looks white in the sun. the middle of the seat looks to open and plain.. but owell were just gona go with it. we got a good deal on it and it looks 100% better then it did!

Sunday:
went to u-pull it to get some misc parts and a VENT GLASS (passenger door was broke) for 25$. got a brake release, ac knob, 2 chrome door handle bezel, ash tray spring. Got 2 new 4inch pioneers in the dash and painted the air vents all black and dash chrome strip silver.

i do want it low but.. i dont want the rear lower then the front. i want it level or front lower then the front.

on the rear with a 4 inch drop or 3. ill have to notch the bed out above the shackel wont i?

3r!c84 · 03-08-2010, 11:25 PM

if your going with the 3/4 drop you will have to notch the bed above the shackle(unless you have the longer leafs,like on BIG10s)

mwooten92 · 03-08-2010, 11:34 PM

right. alright then i might put a drop kit on it over the summer.
Thx for the info

mwooten92 · 03-11-2010, 12:59 AM
