    Went to another show yesterday at UMass out in Amherst. I got to meet I few S10 guys while I was there too which was pretty cool







    While I had a really fun time at the show and looking at all the girls in yoga pants I nearly had a heart attack on the way home.



    I was going about 70-75 when I went over two bridges back to back that were just in absolutely horrible shape. I'm still new to being low so I really didn't think much of it but my frame made contact to the ground several times on these two bridge things. As soon as I got over the second one I saw chunks of plastic flying out from behind me I honestly thought I punctured my gas tank! I look under my truck and I see the valence wedged under my skid plate! I checked for other damage but the only other thing that happened was my grille knocked out of place and my corner lenses were hanging out. I got really lucky and I definitely need to be a lot more careful shit was scary as fück

    o I spent some quality time with my truck this weekend, I gave it a very much needed compound, polish, and wax. I started off with a two bucket wash followed up with a good clay bar treatment. Then I started using my Porter Cable with M105 compound



    After going over it a few times I started using M205 polish. Here's a few during the process









    I put the grille back on and jacked up the truck and cleaned the wheels and tires. Gave it a nice coat of tire shine as well.



    Obligatory selfie



    And parked at the show.



    I really ***** my spot but whatever. While I waited to regroup with a few of my friends I took another picture



    All in all UC3 was a damn good time. I look forward to going to the UMass show next weekend as well

I'm pretty sure the coilovers for our trucks are pretty comparable, but it looks like it takes less drop to get you low so you might luck out. Sorry for the novel but the truck looks dope dude
    Thanks Dalton, if I ordered mine directly through QA1 I could custom order my spring rates so I'd probably opt for a 750# springs. Off the shelf setups range up to 500#. For now I'll probably take off 1 coil and fix my Chevy lean. Over time the Belltech leafs will sag and I'll get lower that way. I'll figure it out all in due time, I do plan on staying static tho

    Wheels are finally on! All my fitment calculations were exactly where it needed to be. Everything clears beautifully

    Thanks dude!

    Saw a bone stock version of my truck at autozone



    Its weird looking at the height difference lol. But I had to get shorter endlinks to compensate for the 3" springs



    Honestly it made 0 difference but not having broken shit is cool. I had my fenders rolled in preparation for my wheels.


    Tommy did a good job on them make sure you check out his truck on IG if you haven't already @slowlowandbangin



    Random roller

    And I spent some time waxing my wheels and shining the tires before I put them on





    My spacers will be here for tomorrow and depending on the weather I will finally put my wheels on!

    1 inch in the front and 1.5 in the rear. If my calculations are correct they're gonna fit really well. Not super aggressive but definitely the road less traveled on these trucks. Also I'm getting my fenders rolled this coming weekend
