As promised.......
I picked up my Truck today after having them install CPP's 3"/4" Lowering Springs/Shocks. I have attached "Before and After" pictures here in this post and you can see more comparisons on my "Mods Page" at:
http://home.pon.net/wwotr/towing.htm

First off I will testify that the Handling/Ride quality is a........
NIGHT & DAY DIFFERENCE!

I can palm the steering wheel with one hand and can do 45-50 MPH, where I couldn't go over 30 MPH before!
There was not one single Bump, Rut, Pot Hole that I had to avoid.
I deliberatly went over them to see how it handled.
It was Beautiful!
I was almost in Tears when I got home from the Drive!!!

My Mechanic told me that BOTH Rear Shocks were "Blown" and that when they cut/Torched the Front Springs, they welded back on some of the Front Spring because the took off too much!

I am happier than a Hog in ****!
