my 03 before and after this weekend
Well most of you know my truck and that its been muddy and beat on..and everything else...well heres a before this weekend and a after this weekend shot for you guys!
14 hours of hell.......some modification to some parts..some extra money that I hadnt planned on spending.....and a alignment ....shes almost done suspension wise....gotta get 3 degree camber bolts 2.25 got it close but just wasnt enough......
alignment tech said seeing as the kit had only been on the truck for a hour when it was aligned that it should settle some....and that should hopefully help with the wee lil bit of positive camber
In those pics the sway bar wasnt hooked up yet..I got it hooked up today and im gonna go out this evening for better pics..
also rocking stock shocks up front for now...till my aftermarkets get here....grr
DONT order from kyb.....unless u have a month and a half to wait on shocks
meanwhile let me know what you think!

svt01.....explain the seating of the springs......because we were in a bit of a hurry...and The kit was used..so no instructions lol
Slid the coil spring up into the upper bucket...lined it up in the groove on the lower control arm...then jacked her her up with the jack..and bolted on the Spindle....she rides great and there doesnt seem to be any problems just sat a little high I thought...the 1 degree camber aint horrible..and actually as ive been driving it..today I looked at it..and it doesnt seem like shes cambering out 1 degree anymore.....looks less then that

Also..the *** is up a hair on purpose because I like rake...the *** sat lower....till I pumped the air shocks up...if I wanted to let it drop down I could let some air out of the rear shocks,..but then she'd be bouncier then I like...
Depending on what happens ..and how much it settles over the next month...after I move n stuff..I'll probably get 3 degree camber bolts to fix the alignment and maybe take it to 5/6 ...dunno..we will see..kinda afraid of going 5/6 considering it'll be a daily driven in the northern snow...hence the air shocks.......so i can carry weight without riding the frame!
