    Josh40601's Build Thread. (D-ranged)

    Still got that bro lean, but close enough. I'll likely just use a shorter spring up front and call it a day. Been working on my buddies 97 that we did an 06 conversion on and trying to get his bumper lined up. He went with the same bumper D had.

    Josh40601's Build Thread. (D-ranged)

    Last two days were all about rebuilding the hubs brakes and bearings. After cleaning or replacing everything, the axle shafts won't go into the lockouts. I'll deal with it after paint. Coilovers off, springs going on tomorrow, tune up, and off to the body shop
