Default Brown Santa visited me today








I'm redoing my front end static drop with McGaughy's 17+ 2" drop spindles and 2" drop coils and getting a new set of shoes for her next week. Starting with the drop tonight...will likely just disassemble everything and maybe get the hubs pulled from the stock spindles and remounted in the drop spindles tonight and button the rest up tomorrow after work. Going likely with a set of Toyo Proxes 255-45-20 all the way around!!!

For those that may be interested I'll have the DJM upper and lower arms and 3 good 255/35/20 tires for sales VERY soon!!! Of course pics of the drop will come afterwards, but I'm anticipating no change in ride height after the springs settle a bit.

I had rusty (linuxnative) measure his and his was dead on from center of wheel to fender as mine was with the arms...so hopefully...yes I will keep the same drop.

I asked Nick to help, but I started last night and he works nights so he's of no help cause of work. hehe...

his has settled quite a bit, but is still a bit high in the front then what he was expecting. He's talking about going with a 1" coil drop to get to where he wants to.
