Just did my drop

[98fordranger]

I have a 98 ranger. i went with the Djm 4/5 drop and belltech street performance shocks, got it all from stylin trucks cost me 770 for everything. This past sat. night me and my buddy put it in. used my grandfathers shop with lift. took us about 6 hours( took us so long cause we had to find all the tools that were scattered all through the shop) the front was fairly easy we just took are time and mad sure everything was tightened down. the back was very easy took about 45 mintues the only problem we had was when we went to grease the fittings my buddies grease gun got stuck on the fitting and we end up ripping the threads out of the hole but it was no big deal just re tapped it. today i went to got get it aglined and the shop said they wouldnt do it cause my driver side leaf was causing the truck to lean an inch and a half lower than the passenger side it was like that before the drop so now gotta buy new leafs and install this weekend the truck looks sick it was worth the money a 100% ill try to get some pictures up so

first we took all the tires of lifted up and then unhooked the tie rod ends and sway bar links after that we removed the spindle once we did that we lowered the truck put a jack under it and unbolt the shock. slowly lifted the lift so the coil spring wouldnt shoot out then just unbolt the upper and lower control arms
