your welcome, only other thing I would suggest is car brite butter wax after you are done it works as a wax and seal and really does leave a really soft smooth feel to your paint if you don't seal it more than likely you will feel gritty after time, good luck cant wait to see the outcome.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished

Thanks, I'll try that as a final coat. Should I be concerned with the small clips on the trim if I remove it to buff? It already looks like one is toast as I see some double sided tape behind it in one spot. I really don't want to have to work around all of the trim and I think removing it would cut down the time needed to do the job.

Blue painters tape over your trim would be my suggestion may take time but less time than taking off your trim if clips are bad may have to do by hand around there...you can pm me if you need any help

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished

I sold the truck this morning, bittersweet.
Replaced it with a Blazer though, it will be much easier for the entire family to cruise around on the weekends now.

Re: Finally got the 4.5/6 drop finished

Also, I measured the rear leafs and they are in fact 52" so hopefully the drop leaf will work. I think that will ride better than the flip kit. Thanks for the information and help!
