Default Lowered My Truck Last Weekend

Dropped the truck last weekend 4/6.

2" Hotchkis springs
16" McGaughy's spindles
Flip-kit in rear with a McGaughy's notch
245/65/17 tires


Gigantic thank you to Nick (GMracer) who really did most of the work and to Kurt (02OrangePeel) for helping. They both stayed up til 1am on Sunday night helping out with this thing.

Looks good. Kevin, why did I think u had a dropped blue truck sitting on Stingrays? Must be thinkin of someone else. I even thought it was blue w/. a 6M.
Why do u remove trans X-member on a 4/6? At least this 1?

We just made the crossmember flush with the frame to gain some clearance, helps with speedbumps and his driveway in this case.
