Well, I would comment as to why I am interested, but probably shouldn't in here anyway. I'll just say I have reasons to try and monitor what goes on over on S10Extremist...

I too, have read the things that go on over at S10extremist.....don't think I'll be going back. Sometimes a second opinion ain't worth the trouble.

Oh yeah, Donahue, the research is back on! I'll be in contact!

sorry bud!. hey. you might need to come this way.. george wants my seats.. haha! anyway.

so this is how it sets as of today. the pass side sits a lil lower, think another spring in that side would be good? or how could i level it out?
i SHOULD have my other adapter tomorrow night, if thats the case my soft 8's should be back on the front . so i snapped a couple pics for you guys. enjoy!
oh yea, thats me..






here is the fontend and shackle hangers.... again!!




and next to a stock highrider i seen lastnite, just had to park by him!!

You'll be surprised the difference it makes in access underneath the truck. Allows you to get your hands in a lot of places you normally can't. I wouldn't take off mine if I could.

I'll tell you from experience it's gonna suck getting them off. especially since you're gonna have to do it laying on the ground. At least when I did it (the other night) the axle was on a table and I could rotate it and move and stuff
