SSThunder Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Drivetrain: AWD Drop: Front/Rear (inches) 2/2 but more up front I'm sure. I've turned the keys a little so it sits around 32-1/8 driver side and 32 on passenger side. I need to turn the keys to put the height at 33". Front end alignment is off so back to the alignment shop she goes. Front: Belltech 2" drop spindle Rear: Belltech 2" drop shackles Adjustment: None Shocks: Nitro drop 2 up front/Sensatrack on the back . Basically an OEM height shock. I think they are called Sensatrack. Other: Rear bumpstops are trimmed 1 nub in the back and mounted to frame instead of bracket. Front bumpstops 1st and 2nd nub have been drilled with 6 holes each. I also drilled 2 holed at the top of the bumpstop through 4 nubs. Total Cost: $600+ Edited August 10, 2007 by SSThunder (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
