    I like the look with the hella's :thumbsup:

    Is there any reason a cb drop is less desirable than axle shims? If they both accomplish the same effect of adjusting the pinion angle?

    Also after seeing this pic I'm adding retros to the to-do list

    Do you sometimes park on Longfellow? I think I've seen your truck, similar to mine.

    I work at Shade Hotel. I was driving home and I saw your truck with the silver springs peeking out and had to stop and check it out. Looks great!

    Oh right on, thanks! Those springs will hopefully be joined by UCA's in a few weeks if all goes well

    I took the easy way out and had a shop do it...from what I've heard removing the balljoint can be tough

    More pics with 1.25" spacers

    They definitely weren't cheap, but I noticed a huge difference in handling. I can corner at high speeds again and there's no issue with the balljoints binding when I hit dips while cornering. The steering is also way more responsive, and will be even nicer after I replace the bushings.

    Also they look cool. Totally worth $569 IMO, couldn't justify the TC or Icon price tag

    Glad I could help!

    Been awhile, recently I replaced the valence because it looked like :puke: and got the windows re-tinted

    photo1_zps52cc1356_eb751c27cec3b9715dc89c2c603c6c88ba2a40a5.jpg

    Also debadged but I can't get the crap off. Any suggestions?

    Next big thing will be some used coilovers, the 5100's ride like a brick. And the taco lean is driving me nuts
