Lookin good so far, good info and entertainment. May want to cut a coil up front tho. Just picked up a '99 SCab and dropped back pulling out a couple leaves and shackels, got to put in my drop spindle soon. Been riding with a squat for weeks.

Thanks, Its sitting level now but that's too close to squatting so I plan on doing new springs or cutting a coil and doing ball joints at the same time.

Truck is looking good. I have the same kit on my supercrew. Also did lightning conversion. Motor wheels and front bumper. Do you have the motor swap also? And how long before you get the truck painted?

I did an N/A 2 valve swap i have a video of it on my channel, I plan on doing a supercharger in the future. Im actually dropping the bumpers off this week to be painted.

Did your turning radius decreased with the drop spindles?

I'm not sure, I didn't really drive it much before I lowered it. It seems to turn pretty tight though.

@@KaputyINC how easy and how much more expensive is the 4.6 to 5.4 swap compared to as if I just threw another 4.6 in my truck.. it’s a factory manual as well
Belltech 915ND is a "2/4" drop for the standard cab truck, extended cabs use a different kit apparently, I have their lowering spring on the bench that I'll be installing in an upcoming video. The truck sits level and that's too close to SqUaTtEd for my taste. I have their front and rear sway bar kit I'll be doing at the same time (9919).
