Big difference, less acceleration, less effective braking....wider so i have been hopping a couple curbs and got to get them balanced cause at 40mph they shake...

decided the front extended bumpstops would be to much so i took one prothane insert and cut it in half and put each half in each coil looks like it should work perfectly...now for the hard work tomorrow...also got a tattoo yesterday my first one on the backside of my lower arm:

got some updates from yesterday not all of them though cause it got to dark for pics but got the rear bump stops all set up with shackle relocation brackets and changed my exhaust up a bit...
lowered rear end to take off shackles and u-bolt plates:


welded on some flat stock to act as a bump stop pad:



while they were cooling down and then paint drying started installed shackle relocation brackets:



then installed u-bolt plates:


then raised up leafs to meet shackle brackets found out my clunk is from a bad shackle bushing cause i couldn't grease them in the factory location:



then set ride height and drilled for the bump stops and installed:
