Nice. Really want to build a long range rifle. Good ol' 700 is going to be my start off.

Nice man. Wilson makes some good barrels. I'm thinking next year when I turn 21 I will pickup either a 19 or a Springfield Operator 1911. I've had my eye on the Operator for a while.

Hear is a question.
What is the best route to get another 1" out of my lift. Running a ProcompS2, some tell me to crank up but the ride quality will be out the window. Any suggestion for the rear?

My vote would be 1in spacer for the front and add a leaf for the rear but that would be around 1.5in.

1" level/spacer (Daystar may be the only one that makes a 1") and 1" lift shackle for the rear. Shackles are dirt cheap and won't change ride quality at all.

Personally, I'd just add 2" to both if I was going to go through the effort and spend the money, but it depends on what you want. 1" is also friendlier on the front end components.

That's the wrong pic for Summit, but the right part number. I literally just got done price checking, and Summit is the cheapest after shipping. I was under the impression that it was 1.5" lift, but a few sites say 1". DJM says it's for 3.0" wide leaf springs and other sites say 2.5", all same part number. Not liking that, but I may guinea pig for you. I'm gonna try to remember to go out and measure the spring width later when it stops raining.
