    sorry man didnt mean to steal the lime light off ya. didnt think i had seen that title before..... how about Lil' Red Socal? :waytogo:

    the half clears came from ebay. new at about $16 bucks for the lenses alone. here's a link to a set.

    yea, the liner kinda already took its toll on the edges around the paint. so it looks better with it on at the moment :waytogo:

    yup........ got some 3" blocks in the rear and the torsions essentially are non existant in the front since its just resting on the bump stops right now. from my calculations, the truck is sitting at a 5-5 1/2 inch front drop and 3" rear.

    you should just remove all the bump stops. You don't really need them.

    I've removed all on mine.

    you should get a pipe now.

    Ride is great without the bump stops. You get an extra 1-2" of travel.

    Cranking the tersion is great at first but get really irritating after some time.

    my ride is dangerous thru groovy rodes. The tersions plus the big 245 front tires tosses the car around.

    I drive really slow right now due to this. Some spindles should help make the car safer.

    But, yes it's dangerous.

    yea..... we actually lifted it enough to let it just barely have light shine through the bumpstops and frame. it rides fairly (and surprisingly) good for what it is. we also placed some doeshtec drop shocks in it to allow for more up travel. the rear has about 1" before the stops so its ok......

    we're still gonna work on it....... gonna remove the bumpstops and place low-pro ones in. the work continues...

    The yots's looking good! :waytogo: I have my torsions cranked all the way on my '94. At first the ride was "spongy". I thought bout removing the bumpstops but decided against it. So all I did was trim them down. & the ride was better. This is only temporary til i get some low profile bump stops!
