Lift shackles will work as well. I just like moar lowah....
Me too, I think Drunkcanuk has the right idea.
Mine settled about 3/4" just sitting there for a few weeks, plus my scrawny a$$ jumping on the bumper a few times. Wouldn't doubt it settles the more you drive. If mine doesn't, I'm ripping the front apart and taking the 1" spacer out.

Those spacers were never meant to be installed. I mean.. it's a drop kit. :anitoof:

Haven't found a use for those spacers yet..

Ya.... wasn't sure I wanted to go 5" down in the front. As of now I'm not happy with the bit of (whatever state makes you mad) lean it has. But I'll make my decision in the spring (no pun intended) once she gets some kms racked up and hopefully settles down.

What spacers are we talking about, fellas? I put in those rubber isolators on my new springs. Does the Belltech kit come with a 1” spacer or something?

As @Drunkcanuk and @someotherguy said ditch them biatches. I didn't realize you'd used them.
They’re real thin. This is what I’m talking about. Not going to gain anything by taking those out. I looked up what he’s running, def not these haha.

Yeah, not those, those are fine. I used some when I built the front end on the '92 all those years ago because the factory isolators fell apart when I pulled the springs. The replacements were slightly thicker and appeared to be polyurethane.

The spacers we're trashing are 1" thick plastic and come with the Belltech springs. As the man said.. 3" drop springs without, or 2" with the spacers, if you're scared of drop. ;)

Let’s talk wheel colors. I have this idea of getting them done in a copper, brushed nickel, steel, or argent silver. Anyone have any suggestions? I really think copper wheels with that 20” beauty ring would really pop. Here are some colors I was considering.
