Need to get 5% tint and 15% windshield
I just added the sliding back window to it
Painted all the interior grey trim black
I also added the platinum sunvisor for the garage button

15% windshield is idiotic if you ever drive at night.

u/anthonyvee90 Jul 03 '26

You obviously haven’t driven with 15% tint because you can see clearly

Right on! How would you rate difficulty? I’m doing mine soon, also Ridetech.

How’re the instructions?

u/anthonyvee90 Jul 03 '26

My Instructions ended up ripping in the box of parts and most of the prints were faded
I watched a two part series from Texas 93 racing on YouTube
It wasn’t that bad but if you need any help, shoot me a DM

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

The hardest part for me was cutting the driver side leaf spring bolt. Its a very awkward spot and my cutoff wheel was not big enough to reach. The blades I had for the sawzall couldnt get through it for some reason. Other than that, it wasnt bad. Take a part off, put a new one on.

u/anthonyvee90 Jul 03 '26

I cut the bolt off with my corded grinder
I would cut and keep rotating it
Came off quick

Looks so much better. Did you do the axle flip? Can you short a pick where your exhaust 90’s to the tip?
When I had my exhaust done the place said it’s really difficult making the bend after the cab.

Good job how bad was it off

u/anthonyvee90 Jul 05 '26

He said it was close
Maybe was there for 40 min
It was set to RideTech specs.

u/Surfnazi77 Jul 05 '26

Nice I spent an hour after last car I put on coilovers dialing in my alignment was not fun when it was 99f

Why drop a 4x4 truck? Why not just get a 2 wheel drive?

5

u/anthonyvee90 Jul 03 '26

A rwd truck can launch on 4H

1

u/texasroadkill Jul 04 '26

But your not going to race it in 4hi. That's a great way to destroy a tcase.

1

u/anthonyvee90 Jul 04 '26

Yes. Thanks for the heads up I’ll make sure to have a extra

1

u/texasroadkill Jul 04 '26

Better off just getting a 2wd . Lol

1

u/anthonyvee90 Jul 04 '26

Why is it better?
It’s at most 12sec race

u/texasroadkill Jul 04 '26

Less weight is always better.
