Installed maxtrac 5-6" adjustable drop this weekend

I wanted to post this because I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I decided to do this project this weekend.

Firstly I dont think it's possible for one person to do this on their own. Unless you have alot of Jacks and even more jack stands lol. Secondly the instructions the kit comes with are severely lacking information and leave alot for you to figure out on your own. Thirdly, I watched alot of how-to videos and read alot about doing this project before I actually started and I feel I spent most of my time cutting with a grinding wheel which I feel alot of how-to's dont touch on.  Anyways about 10 hours later the truck is dropped. I need to lower the front just a tad, but for now I'm happy with the outcome.  I still have alot of clean up to do at a later date.  All the cutting left alot sharp edges and brackets that need to be cleaned up and painted.

I think for the front I'm going to do 1" drop springs to level it out, what do yall think?

Very nice. A drop looks great on this era truck. Performance mods in the future? Looks level as is, probably don't need to drop the front.

I need to get a tape measure because your right sometimes it looks perfect other times it looks a little off. I'm getting the truck ready for one turbo kit
