HUGE difference!!! It looks great!! LQ9 and an STS and you are set!!
I went through the same thing when I went to get my wheels aligned. My wife picked the truck up and brought it home and when I saw it I about ****. They didnt touch a thing!! I brought it back and they said it was aligned!! I politely asked if he was a retard and if this was a special ed facility, if it wasnt, someone had better have it fixed in an hour. When it was done the same guy walked over to me and the guy who actually aligned it and asked if it had needed adjustment. The guy (his own employee) said "oh yea, it was really bad, its a good thing you brought it in, alot of people dont when they lower it and tear tires up in 5K miles), he had no idea that his shop had supposedly already aligned it. Thats my story

So now the big question, does Teri like the new, easier access? After all, that was the whole reason for dropping it, right ?

BTW, I like the new sig.

i hate puttin my stock wheels one, i seriously almost sold my truck cuz i was so depressed lol. btw the lq9 wont bring it down much if at any at all... also truck looks good man, mine was that height too, until I went even lower with my 4x4... and i still dont know if its enough.

as for the moldings i pulled mine off my 01 recently and my buddies on his 00 and the paint was a little dirty but a good detail fixes that all up to perfection.

Oh yea, I had her get in it yesterday...no more grabbing the handle on the dash and/or me giving her a boost lol Like you said, I lowered it for her Especially now that she's about 6 months along!

I told her that we have to do the LQ9 swap asap for her too....if she goes into labor, I need a fast truck to rush her to the hospital

That's good to know...cause now I'm itchin to debage this thing (I can tell the wife that I did that for her too...less wind resistance do to the smoother sides=faster ride to the hospital when the baby comes!) For some reason, I think she's on to my real motives though

Thanks again for all the compliments everybody!
