Disabled how? Fuse?

one of them is so bad it had a tear in the bag. which stops the compressor from running or something. my buddy was explaining it to me. i was too busy drooling over the new stance to remember :)

3/4 Drop Kit

there's a few special moments when you are customizing a vehicle.
for me it's usually, wheels, stance and paint.
and i can't lie, after lowering the denali, i am in love with this damn thing

seems like everybody, everywhere was saying torsion keys are terrible. man this thing rides no different than it did before i dropped it on these wheels. granted, the soft ride on 18in OEM wheels with bubble tires was VERY comfortable, but thats a different story completely. if anything, it rides better because the handling on turns. no more crazy body roll. there's no shakes or rattles. tracks perfectly straight. it honestly feels great. the shop that aligned it said it's in specification even with the lowering kit but said the near future some bushings and idler and pitman arm would be his recommendation. im in Arizona. all of our roads are very flat and nice compared to the the midwest. but, it's never bottomed out and there's no rubbing on full turn in the wheelwells. i been driving it for about a day and a half now. maybe it's too soon to write a review on it. but i been on curvy roads, side streets, freeway up to 80mph and i just drive everywhere with a smile. say what you will about the $199 crown suspension 3/4 drop kit, but for me, i give it 5 Stars.
