Well this is the beginning of a long awaited process. I have order the 4/5 Drop kit with camber bolts and new shocks. Cheapest price I found was on Summitt racing at $780.23. This includes everything and 4 camber bolts.

I will be keeping you all upto date with pics as everything is shipped and is installed. If Anyone is in the local Virginia Beach area and is up for a day of installing this let me know could use a set of hands....

Start spraying everything down with pb blaster, esp the rear leaf spring bolts.

Since its an 06 im sure everything will come out with ease though.

 

is that huge front valence gonna scrape with a 4/5? lol

 

lol i dont think it will shouldn't i hope.... hopefully it will sit just above the ground by about an inch or 2....

 

it'll scrape pulling into business driveways....i'm willing to bet.


BUT....like mark said....spray everything down with TC11/WD40/PB blaster.

we ran 225/75r15's on the little brothers truck...had some rub issues with those tires on the front w/ a reg cab 4cyl....just a heads up on tire diameter. Now running 245/45r17's. Maybe they are 40's...i don't remember.

 

I'm running 215/70R15s on mine, it still rubs a bit a big bumps.

 

the magic number is like 26" diameter. but i don't remember exactly. afterall...i drive a lifted ride. i know nothing. :sarcasm:

 

LOL ahh gotta know something to take a truck up or down from stock height... or at least have some competent peopl on the web helping you......

 

Well if ya'll didn't read my other post about wheels.... I got the FR500 mustang Cobra wheels in the anchirite color like you all suggested.... need to find some decent priced rubber....

 

soon enough...i'll be 4/5'd...possibly 5/7'd!

 

Suspensions parts will be delivered tomorrow... YEAHHHHHHHHHH

 

Damnit! I was gonna be the first on here to run those! Did you get the 17"s or 18"s?

 

18" 9" in front 10" in back.....lol

 

Damnit! That what I was gonna run!

I need to see pics now!

 

run some chrome wheels on your truck john to accent your chrome grill and bumpers.

 

Yeah sorry John... Beat you to it....

Mark,

Can i run a 265/40/r18 in the back and a 255/40/r18 up front and be able to protact the lip.or should i run a 255/35/18 and a 265/35/18???

 

those should fit fine, i know the front will work fine with 255/40/18

not sure on the back and fitment but it should go in there.

 

There's a member here that's already running FR500's....but chromies.

 

Something Came in the mail today... hmm wonder what that is.....

 

Here is a couple stock photos of my truck as is....

 

top box is camber washers, middle box is coil springs, bottom box is the control arms

 

Mark I think he was being sarcastic...

 

lol you guys crack me up! Cool project! Can't wait to see it all on the truck!

 

HAHAHAHA MArk your so funny.... You think I didn't tear those boxes open right after that picture??? You're crazy if you think I didn't...lol Yeah should be installed mostly next weekend...

 

So......was mark right?

I was gonna say the top box was the flip kit, and the 4th box was the camber washers and shocks.
