With the weather back to normal we are back in the garage! This time, we took a break from the race cars and did some daily driver work.
Earl's 97 C1500 has low miles and is in great condition, but he is ready to drop it down low and make it a mean looking daily.

@@frankdatank7751 no it doesn’t hit I also pulled out the overload springs to get one more inch of drop in the rear. You have to hit hard to make it bottom out. I put the carrier spacer on the short side and I don’t have any vibration. I used a grinder with a cut off wheel went through the rivets with ease.

New rotors. The ones that were on there were extremely warped and worn down. New rotors and brake pads got it braking real smooth.

We went as low as you can go without cutting the frame. I have about 3 inches of clearance but heavy hauls definitely make it rest on the bump stops.
