Had the truck for 5 days so far and its dropped 3/4, cleared headlights, hid's, little weight reduction, started on my tune, pop pillar waiting on the gauges to go on, wideband and trans temp and vette servo on the way...off to a good start!

working on the drop:


Original window sticker


Carwash with static06




pretty clean under the hood for an 11yr old truck


Rolling pics:

drop looks good man, glad it all worked out for you. I took that bottom leaf out on my truck which gave it a bit more drop in the rear. How does everything ride?

nooo...screw that guy, the more i learn the more i realize just how terrible he really was...it's like he just took a blind guess at everything he threw in the tune....im letting a local friend here tune it, not sure if he wants me to say his name on here or not so people dont start bugging him to tune their trucks lol
