Pics from drop install (dialup beware)

This will be an on-going topic as I work on my truck in the evenings but here is what I have so far:

The first pic is the truck with the bed off. Then the next one is to show the way the leaf is above the axle and bolted up. Then a pic of the new shackle and finally what the leaf looks like flipped and installed under the axle. I am almost done with the back and will add more tomorrow!

I dont know about the bad part but yes I do. The left rear tire matches the two fronts. The reason the right rear is different is because it is new and that is the tire I want to replace the other 3 with ASAP. The problem is they are like $160 a tire at Discount tire!

Update on the drop: It stalled last night as I could not get the lower ball joints loose in the front. I will try again tonight

thats cool. my tires will be 159 but im tryin to get em for x-mas.


are the ball joints the little guys you gotta pound out with the hammer?

this may be stupid but im just curious. did your drop come with an instruction manual or did they assume you know what your doing?
