Re: SoCal checkin' in
Vince ;
Consider taking a Welding Class @ Trade Tech , it's a good school and I know many who've enjoyed the learning . Practice makes for perfection , gather up some scrap fenders and have at it .

Nice truck ! you'll easily find an unrusted original hood at any local Pick-A-Part , just keep those hood hinges well lubed as these are serious hood benders .

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Thanks Andy, its not a total of 5 1/2 inch drop in the front with a 5 inch drop in the rear. I needed the drive shaft pinion angle adjusted so I figured I would lower it now before taking it to the shop. I also have to add either my ram horns back on or by some shorty headers. Hit my collector backing in to my driveway.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
I do like the stance
ram horns off a pick n pull or someone getting rid of some will be the least expensive, but if you go shortys try speedways tru rams a lot of guys with our set ups are really digging these. By the way good job VDog Posted via Mobile Device |

Thanks gentlemen. Of course its not with out issues, I have to change the lower ball joint on the driverside because the boot got damaged. Unless someone knows where to buy just the boot, its going to be changed. I have two sets of ram horn, one is powder coated the other is rusted. Like headers but for now I might just install the horns. Which ever I get, they need to be spark plug friendly. LOL |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Vince, I use Energy Suspension Ball Joint Dust Boots 9-13126G. About $10 bucks and the kit does both lower and upper. Part number for the tie rod boot is 9-13119G. Any auto parts store can order them for you. I get them from Summit Racing. Lee

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Think im going to get my collector cut off today and run straight pipe for now that way I can still drive it until I figure out which way to go. Or I need to change up to 18's or 20inch rims and that will solve my problem. Too many decisions.
