No problem...just post pics when you get it done. Their examples rocked.

If I didn't need the ground clearance occasionally I would lower my 4x4 like the SS is.

Well I am almost done.

Hereare some pictures asrequested.

I replaced the front tires to 275/45/20 so I wouldn't have any rubbing issues and installed the Mcgaughys springs and coils up front. In the back I replaced the leaf springs and shackles. I Still need to lower it an inch more in the back after I get new U bolts, andreplace the rear tires to match the front.

Hey, hey! Lookin' good... It's shake n' bake, and I helped, lol. My 8 month pregnant wife would appreciate that (and so would Grandma).

Nice quad too, by the way!

Thanks man, I have a lot of time invested in that quad....lol I had to replace the frame after a tree ran out in front of me in July.

Thanks for the help again on where to find a quality lowering kit. it was all bolt on just like they said, the only thing they didn't tell me, was I would have to drop the fuel tank to get the left forward leaf spring bolt out.

The way it sits right now, that is 4" up front and 6" in the back. If I remove the air dam at the bottom, I will have plenty of clearance, but I kind of like to hear it scrape on the ground when I pull into the driveway.....lol

This is where I bought mine out of, stylin concepts. They treat me well and send me coupons and discounts on shipping, etc all the time.

I don't think they have a kit that replaces the leaf springs for an '07.


But thanks for the info.

I changed the rear tires and removed the 1.25" block off the rear axle. (Note: I did not have to change the u-bolts the original ones worked fine.) Total drop is 4" up front and 7" in the back. The tires take off an additional inch.

I was never really into lowered trucks, but man that looks sweet. If I ever lower anything it will be a 2WD truck like yours Cleatus. Around here it would be kinda tough because the roads suck. Lots of bumps and potholes. I was always into the 2WD lifts that make the truck look like a baja truck with the big skid plate and everything.
