Default Some new pics of Black on Black!

I had one final clean up, unless winter holds out and Im bored so I figured Id post up. I put on a dynomax bullet temp till the tru with x and LTs come. Also on order is a smooth wiper cowl, brand new painted mirrors, Lowering Keys, Lowering Spindles, FlipKit, New Fog Light Housings. Then the 6.0 will come not to long after winter breaks.

AND SOME PICS OF MY SMOKED TAILS AND DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS!
btw: caliper will be painted red when I put the lowerin kit in, that way it can dry right.

looks good... what are you going to do with the front and rear bumpers? I think either a smoothed and painted valence and bumper cap OR the ss bumper would good good.

i like the hood pins on the 16 second "beast" lol jk

Let us know how you like the lowering kit. I am going to be lowering my 4wd soon. How low are you going? In your sig it says 2/4 but the lowering spindles drop the front by 2 by themselves and you are also using lowering keys which would net you a 4" drop. How much does the flip kit lower the rear? And Im guessing oyu took the lift blocks out of the back do you have shackles in the back to lower it any? SOrry for all the questions but there arent too many lowered 4wd guys.

HOw much do you have the t-bars crnaked down and how does the combo ride. I seem to remember in another post a while back you said you cut the front bumpstop in half where it kind of comes in a bit. Am I right?

what i did was uncrank all the way, then turned one crank up to keep pressure on the bolts, then i took a sawsall and cut the stops to where they were just pushin on the lower control arm. combo rides basically same as stock.

Sounds good I was afraid it was going to ride rough with the bumpstop situation and the t-bars being lowered more.
