I definitely will be lowering it the right way. That will likely mean I won't be able to do it as soon as I would like for the expense to do it the right way. I'm a total noob when it comes to dropping vehicles. What all would I need to do a 2/4 drop and how much would I be looking at? I get that all I would need is keys for the front. My hoe needs shocks as it is as the ride leaves some to be desired. Then do I only need spindles and coils for the rear? Or is there more not mentioned I would need?

Welcome to the HD club man!!! Truck looks better than I thought it would. A drop will definitely set it off.. Something about the red makes it really stand out.. Keep up the great work!!!

2" spindles up front and 4" coils out back. PM me when you're ready to drop it and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks man! I thought it would look great obviously before I got it but when I picked it up it looks soo much better than even I was expecting.

Thanks man. I LOL'd at the comment too obviously so it took over my sig.

If only you were local I would just go by your place and have you guys hook it up. I will definitely keep you in mind for when I am ready. The intake transaction went by really smoothly.

Spindles give u a 2" drop in front. Keys will help you go beyond the 2 inches. That's why you want to get spindles up front. Factory ride all the way. Your not messing with camber or your torsion bars.

In the rear, you'll want to do shock extenders, springs, and helper bags. It will give you a great ride.

Then, if you want to go lower, you get new keys in front and a shorter spring in the rear. You'll already have everything else you need.

look ssuper nice.. (see how i did the ss thing.. yea im cool like that)

the only thing "personally" is i like the smooth vent caps painted black to match the glass instead of painted to match the truck...

And painting the ss vents a different color like the stock one looks sick too... even do the rims the same stock grey would look sick imo

The hd is sexxxxy i want one on the yuke soooo bad if i decide to keep it/repaint it

but regardless it looks clean man good work!



DROP THAT BISH!!!!

Thanks for the information. I will have to check into it to see how much it will set me back so I know what I'm up against and how much I will need to save up to get it done.

Thanks MOB. I think black vent caps would probably look good but I like body colored ones as well. I opted for the body colored obviously and I really like how they turned out, but I think they would look good either way. Maybe if I get bored with it at some point (unlikely) I will change them. The HD hood would look sick on your truck for sure though!
