Just peel off one corner of the 4x4 decals. It might come off in strips, but pulls off fairly easy. I did my Z71 decals and then took some goo gone to get all the adhesive off.
Looks good though, I'm glad you posted up pics, I've been wanting to see those 18" Z71 wheels on a lowered truck.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
In the front its the stock torsion keys decranked for about 1.25" drop along with the short belltech bumpstops and a 2 inch Mcgaughy's drop spindle.
In the back I removed the factory lift block and installed Mcgaughy's shackles and hangers, along with removing the 4x4 bumpstop bracket and installing the shorter belltech bumpstop right to the frame.
It has about 3" of travel in the rear and the ride is great. The street and perfomance shocks completely tightened up every last bit of the floaty 60's land yacht ride it had with the stock shocks. Now it has a very controlled and planted feel to it.
Thanks for the tips on how to get the 4x4 sticker off, and yes I agree that it is time for some go fast goodies!
