If you would like a set of these, they are sold in the VWR Store

Well, its the day after the 4th of July, and Judd woke me up at 7 to come over and gets some Drop Extensions installed. Here's some pictures of the work. Its was a simple, straight forward install. Easy Cheese!

Here's the modifications to the spring plate.

***Note, if you have the 3.75" Drop Extensions, you don't have to shave the spring plate the 1/8" and you must drill a 1/2" hole through the spring plate for an additional bolt.























Look at that rear end... hmmm Squaty!



I like this shot. Could use a few more DUBS in the driveway.
