I know that theres a "Right Way" to do this.
Money is very tight (for me) right now.
I just wanted to do things the correct way.
Anotherwords intead of driving on these cut springs, I would put in a 3"/4" Lowering Springs/Shocks.
That way I can "add" to it in the future. Theres a settlment coming through that will allow me a $12K "Fund" for this truck, and thats when I'll add to these Springs/Shocks by doing the Drop Spindles and maybe even a Disc Conversiuon in the Rear.
Driving my Truck should be fun and when I combine these......
"Shade-Tree Cut Springs" and a seat that the Springs are shot, I hesitate to take it ANYWHERE!

I wanna do simple things like:
1) GO THE SPEED LIMIT!
2) STOP PULLING OVER FOR PEOPLE BECAUSE I CAN'T NEGOTIATE THE
BUMPS/RUTS ECT!

I've attached a picture of my GMC as it sits today (6/3/09).
After the Spring Install I will take ANOTHER PICTURE in the same place/Position and give you feedback on the Stance/Ride.
