  1. I decided to go with the 3/5 kit. Ordered it yesterday. They're running a sale right now of 5% off and free shipping.
  2. Same, but with this being my daily, I would like to try to be ahead of any issues. Seems like installation instructions would help with that.
  3. It's a shame they don't come with instructions. Although I'm sure it's pretty straightforward, sometimes there are tips/tricks to this stuff that they probably know that we don't (if we haven't done this before.) Wondering if it's just primer to keep them from rusting, although powder coating would be a plus.
  4. Nice! Are they painted silver? Hard to tell in the photo. I'm assuming they come with instructions. Wondering how good those are. I've heard the McGaughy ones are pretty bad.
  5. So did the kit come in? I still haven't gotten around to ordering mine. Mainly b/c it's really hot here and I don't wanna install it in the heat.
  6. Nice! I haven't had time to call them back about the differences in the control arms. I have the cast steel ones. Also haven't decided if I'm just going to do the 3/5 or go w/the kit you have. They said the 4/6 is more like a 4.5/6.5 on a CC, so 3/5 might be just right for 24's on 295/35's. Are you going to have it installed or do it yourself?
  7. Good to know, Nasty. I wasn't aware of that. Guess I need to ask a few more questions! Thx for the info.
  8. I agree on both points, Goinovr. Just wish someone had experience with their setup. Pretty sure I'm just gonna order it to check it out. It's only money and time, right?!
  9. That doesn't matter if you replace the control arms, right? This kit uses the factory spindle and new control arms.
  10. Like the title says. Have been doing research on drop kits and came across these guys. Just wondering if anyone here has used the kit. It's priced in between the McGaughy's and the Bell Tech kit. For reference: https://www.facebook.com/inezhotrodzcustomz/videos/1325923170830171/ And a pic from their page:
  11. True, and I think that exaggerates the sagging look.
  12. I've been looking at that 5/7 kit for my truck. I think a lot of these look great with that drop, but some look like they squat a little in the rear. Yours may be one of those. Kind of hard to tell in the pics. One pic looks like it, but the other doesn't. I'd say raise it up an inch w/a jack and see if you like it better. I personally would want a little rake instead of a squat, if I had to choose. Other than that, how do you like the kit? Did you install it yourself or have someone do it?
  13. I put a BAK revolver x2 tonneau on my truck last week. It installed really easily. The hard part was getting it square (which wasn't hard.) Since it has been raining off and on at my house for about 14 hours, I thought I'd see how leakproof it was. As you can see in the pictures, I got a little water in the corners. (The front corner picture looks worse than it really was because I rolled up the cover and the water on top ran in a bit.) Each corner had about the same amount of water. It's not a deal breaker for me, because I mostly just bought it for looks. But I may try to seal it up better in the future. So far, I'm very happy with this tonneau!
