    the switches arent hard wired yet so to get it to lift and lower i have to touch wires together ha ha....but hey, i can move it. there is an issue now where when the truck is laid out the wheels start to tow in. have to get bump stop himes to help eliveate. always has to be something !

    That sucker is LOW. What's the final ride height when things are pumped up, vs stock?

    the harley bars actually hit the ground in the rear now, so im curious what the front is going to do once its all the way down. i am gonna pull the truck around in a little bit so ill see how high it will go at full lock

    You're gonna be pulling the wheels off the ground with the frame laid out if you keep on :jester:

    Looks good, you're making me want to spend money on mine now. I may stay static and throw some 22" Bonspeeds on Ole Blue.

    well looks like this is going to be the driving height for the truck. the issue with the tires "toeing" in was basically corrected by flipping the tie rod ends around to the opposite position. had to use a reaming tool for the spindle but it worked out. what sucks is i am at our second location this week so i havent seen my baby since sunday, but the guys have been sending me pics ha
