You're right, that is fun to say!

What year did you use and how much drop did they give you?

mr mike · 10-24-2009, 08:52 PM

The spring i used was out of a 1998 jeep tj (wrangler) they have the same set up from 1997 to 2007 i think and it gave me about a 3 to 3 1/2 inch drop it is a little soft for hailing but i don't do any thing like that with this truck

petey-pablo · 10-24-2009, 08:59 PM

WOW your truck is looking good I like the wheels I wonder what my truck would look like with a set of those

mr mike · 10-25-2009, 10:07 AM

Thanks 4 all the kind words, I think the next step is for Cadillac taillights and then a rear chrome bumper. I have to Finnish getting the rest of the air ride stuff and bag it. Ill keep you all up to date as i go

wp silverado · 10-26-2009, 10:01 PM

thanks for the info man. was it plug and play for your 69 or did you have to wire anything different?

mr mike · 10-26-2009, 11:33 PM

It was plug and play. The only thing that i did was cut the wire and ran then as my parking light instead of the front parking / turn signal light. It installed in like 10 min

mr mike · 10-26-2009, 11:40 PM

ooo by the way if you do install them I would do the Headlight relay mod

Man, I am having a hard time keeping my hands off this thing I just got done pulling the inner fenders off (I like the look of it that way) and I am going to go to the welding shop this week and get some steal and make a 2" drop block for the rear. That will all but make it sit all but level It should have about a 1/2" rake to it

wp silverado · 10-28-2009, 04:56 PM

that looks great man, i think the xtra drop will help with the small tires

Neal Molder · 10-28-2009, 09:15 PM
