X-Code Suspension Upgrade Photos

Randy (Mach 1) and I went in and tore out the wimpy front springs and went to X-Codes. We ran measurements with the 4.5" Lift, 35" Tires before install. We got values anywhere from 1" to 2" off every corner. After we installed she came out to 45-1/2" all the way around. It's settled a little bit and the nose is down a tad but overall it's perfect. She is smooth as butter, well as smooth as an M1 Abram can be

I'm pretty happy with the job. Randy and I have become the masters of installing adjustable DR (wait now they are Icon) trackbars LOL.

Oh, those of you worried about the old 4.5" Hanger kit from DR (hell it's probably same thing with Icon), don't worry about X-Codes. I had no issues with my front being higher then my rear.

I can't believe you would ask me, Storm, if they were brand new. Come on now Krew! You should know I don't take hand me downs or used parts LOL. Yes they are brand new. Paid $163 piece for them plus new U-bolts.

Touche! Yeah it's been awhile. I realized how much I missed this place when I sold the truck and it came back. Now I'm back to PMS like mad. I got sooo much to catch up on! I'm getting there. I got this REALLY bad bug right now. I've been talking to a bud who retrofitted the 2008 SD door panels to his 05, I'm contemplating the idea myself. Pretty straight forward except for massive rewiring job since the new doors use different switch layouts. His 05 looks HAWT with the panels! I still need to finish the audio install. Waiting on the last bit of my parts to show up.
