Finished drop, finally

[bustedknuckles]

thanks so much for all the positive comments. I have been planning for quite some time but have been on hold and making sure I had everything in my head and ordered parts as I could. I had most everything here but to be honest I just couldnt do it at the time. My wife and I have been caring for my mother. Sadly she passed away here at our home last Thursday morning from cancer. I just needed time alone and something to do to occupy my time. Im not done though. Plenty left to do on it. Roll pan, paint and body, tonneau cover and other stuff. Thanks to all who have helped me with my numerous question, some over and over again.

I hate to hear that about your mother....

It’s always good to have something to occupy yourself when there’s a lot going on

Sorry to hear about your mother. The truck looks beautiful.

Oh, that looks fantastic! Very cool.

Sorry to hear your loss. Glad to see you're putting your thoughts into something constructive. It's definitely a good thing.

Truck looks great, man! Sorry for your loss. It's coming up on 7 years since I lost mine. My 96 was hers for a while before she passed so I work on it to clear my head a bit.

Yes worth the money. Believe it or not mine were original shocks and were completely shot as you can imagine. They seemed a little stiff at first but compared to no shock at all that was expected. Ive put about 200 miles on the setup in the last day and a half and am very pleased with them. In corners they are great as to not let the truck dip but hitting a bump in the curve they feel just right on the bumps, a little of both worlds, comfort and support. The rears seem a little firmer because of the angle i suppose. I have lower extensions but couldn't find the upper Relocation kit anywhere. Im sure that will be helpful when I can get them. I believe sew-low? Suggested them to me and for the slight difference in cost from the nitro it was a good call. Super sharp truck by the way. I am going to post on suggestions on trimming fender lips next. 8 inch rallys on the front isn't bad at all but it needs a little massaging on the lit for extra room.
