Now that all the body mounts are removed from the front & rear as well as the free travel mod. How is the ride?

narco you take a bat and drive forward slowly and use the sidewall of the tire as the pivot point

start off slow and at a low angle then as it gets rolled you can keep pushing down on the end of the bat to get a greater angle on it thus rolling the fender up in more

and I got it now haha!
it will be that low hopefully soon :)

I still will not completely judge it until I get rear shocks
its SO much better with the free travel mod and rolled fenders though its just the bounce I need to get rid of then I will be able to tell you guys

Steve is going to give me his DJM drop shocks so I should be set just have to wait for his tahoe to get bagged :)

yeah, I originally sat by myself with a jack and a piece of wood, jacked the truck up stuck the wood in at an angle and let the jack down but it didn't do much

or you can put it in neutral and push it back and forth either way works

I still need to do a little more rolling where the bat wasn't big enough in diameter to reach and I still need to trim the plastic fender liner in the back because thats what I hear scraping now

I want to get that rear hatch shaved pretty soon but I'll probably just wait until I get my roll pan

I'm almost done with the exterior just a few minor things on the back end and obviously a whole new front end but I decided that I'm done with the suspension, I want to get more shit done else where before I go back and mess with bags plus I love the stance right now :)

I'll get fender measurements tomorrow but I remember measuring the front and it being at 32" and the back right around 31.5" but I'll make sure tomorrow

the top isolator was completely removed
