Default S. Mcgoo's 07 XL build

I've got all kinds of things I want to do to the truck. Here's where it starts.

Got the windows tinted. 35% on the fronts and 5% on the backs.

Got the suspension components installed that lowered it 3 in the front and 3 in the back.

Here's the difference between the shackles

And the outcome. It's a lot better, but will still be going lower.

Lower still? You must not get any snow there!

I can't tell, but is the door window tint different from the quarter window tint? If so, does it look like a smooth transition from one to the other?

yeah, its 35% on the door windows and 5% on the little windows behind that. I think it looks smooth but you can definitely tell they are darker in person

It doesn't snow to much in Texas. I'd still lower it anyway though, even if it did. I'll plow the snow with the bumper

The wife got me the tri-fold tonneau cover I wanted, for my birthday. She also got a sponge bath today (the truck).

Cool thanks. I didn't even pay attention to that when I was putting in the shackles. Didn't even realize there were factory blocks. How much more will it lower it when I take them out?
