Turned out good. Paint cracked in two spots, and they were where they were getting rubbed on...so oh well. Im gonna pick up some touch up paint.

Also need to try and pull where the bumper meets the fender to even out the transition. Couldnt get the roller to that point because of the BBK.

he's usually down for 2 hours - 2.5 hours sometimes 3 if I play my cards right! lol Wife (mama) can watch him for a bit if he gets up early.

I have to jackstands so if you want to get the whole car off the floor at one time bring 2 extras.

^^More like Kyle is trying to make a quick buck to fix is paint chips.

Kyle - Just bring over the forks and some wood planks so you can clear the jack. Other than that we should be all set

you know to adjust the spring perches. Don't you have like two wrenches that looks like C's with little teeth on the end to loosen up and/or tighten up the collars?

eh I left it where it's at, got the car up and found that turning the damn shock body would take me hours to do all 4. So 2.25" drop will have to suffice unless I go to speed and have them do it. Plus I noticed if I lower the rear much more when I get an alignment I could run into some rubbing issues and I just don't want that

It would be much easier if I could turn it with my hands, but the way the teeth are on the collars I can get barely any turns with the forks before hitting things lol.

I might get it another shot later when I have more time to really get in there, take off the wheels and what not instead of just jacking it up and working around the wheels.

ohhh lol. I assumed you took off the wheel but understand now. Tons easier taking the wheels off and should take 10-15min per wheel to do.

I'm about an 1/8" below that curb you see in the pics on the lowest part of the lip close to the wheel. The curb is about 4" tall
