    After being razzed for months about having my truck up in the "Nose Bleed" section,. I've finally lowered it, I must admit I feel like a idiot because it only cost $29.99 and about a hour of time,. heres the pics with a few extra just for the addicts:waytogo:

    Looks good! You just crank the torsions and remove a leaf?

    3" drop blocks in the back, and yes, gave her the old torsion twist in the front,.

    I really like the height now,. and since i live in rural oregon and the roads are less then smooth i think it would be a mistake to go any lower

    Looks good man!

    Go ahead and crank your torsions David, if you don't like it you can always undo it.

    Trucks lookin' good and I know how you feel. I got a hard time for not lowering my old truck right away back in 89 (man I'm old, been into M/T'n for 22 years now and no sign of ever stopping LOL) and when I finally did, I was crusing down clearwater ave and some guy I knew pulled up next to me with his friend, looked over and said "Pete finally lowered his truck", then gave me compliments on my wheels and drove off, he really thought he was hot stuff LOL.
