Finally dropped my L.

[Helix]

I finished lowering my truck yesterday afternoon. 3/5 looks damn good! I am really glad I didn't go with a 4/6. I only have one little problem. I can't find a rack my truck can get up on. I think I have found a place that has one of the lowest racks you can get without using a pit. I am going to take my L by there tomorrow morning and see what they say. Sounds like they will be able to do it. They do vettes pretty easy he said. It took me a total of 10-12 hrs to finish this project. The instructions make it sound so easy. The worst part was getting the stock hangers off. There is cutting and grinding invovled but nothing that would mess it up. Now that it is all said and done I am really happy! I will try to get some pics up soon.

Thanks for all the help,

Helix

Congrats Helix. Just take some short 2x4s with you.
Place a 12in. long 2x4 in front of the rack. Roll up on them and then onto the rack. That's how I do it. :beer:

Can you post what parts you went with and where to get them?
Thanks!

I will try to get some pictures up soon. Maybe after I get everything dialed in. I may take some 2x4's with me just in case. Man that thing sits nice in my driveway now. www.sporttruckdirect.com

did you notch the frame??

My L has a 3-4 drop, I don't have any problems with it getting it on a lift. They look so much sweeter when they are dropped don't they? The only problem I've had is that when I turn my steering to the left all the way to the lock, I hear a clanking noise. seems to go away after I drive a bit though... Other than that... you won't hear me complaining

Glad the guys at sport truck direct got you the kit you wanted. Need pictures!!!!!

No. I did not notch the frame. There is plenty of room. STD said I wouldn't need to either.

I think you are probably right.
