That's a heck of an improvement for a day's worth of work.

Also forgot I put on a sport bumper (from an 86 burb) with matching filler. Will get pictures later. It was much easier using a lift and air tools. Would have taken me a couple days by myself in the drive way probably.

Re: Finally lowered!

The truck looks better from what we can see. It does look a bit high in the front though. You might consider half a coil first and see what it looks like.
